Going Paperless in PreK?

Hillary Liesch

The purpose of this blog is to serve as a practice exercise in EDM 510.

Classmates, once again I'm bringing you into my PreK, early childhood world for this assignment. This year, our school is actually doing away with weekly, paper copy classroom newsletters and transitioning to publishing information for parents online. Our school will use a website set up through our school site with Mobile County, not a blog. 

I've been wondering what it will be like to go paperless in PreK. Of course, I'm talking mainly about parent communication; students still have tons of paper on which to write, color, paint, glue, cut, etc...transitioning away from that will be a totally different challenge.

Discussion:

In your comments I'd like you to include three elements related to going paperless with parents: 1) a foreseeable pro/benefit, 2) a foreseeable con/pitfall, and 3) a strategy or important idea to remember.
