00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:08.340
mhm, mm hmm.

00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:10.390
Hey,

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.870
we're your sustainability
council and we're here to help you

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:19.860
become a paper savings
sustainability superhero.

00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:21.320
All right.

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.650
The average school uses 720
reams of paper each year it takes

00:00:25.650 --> 00:00:29.600
1300 and 21 gallons of water to
make one ream of paper,

00:00:29.610 --> 00:00:34.610
which means the average school
uses 950,400 gallons of water

00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:39.950
each year and spends $200,000 on
paper annually By switching to

00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:41.010
a paperless model,

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:45.060
we could save 2500 trees and
55,000 gallons of oil.

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:48.820
We can demonstrate lifelong
sustainability practices to our

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:50.090
youth. Students.

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:53.200
Moving towards becoming a
paperless classroom and school can

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.250
help you as an educator as well.

00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.780
Think back to your time and
remote learning using google

00:00:58.780 --> 00:00:59.470
classroom.

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:02.700
It means no more lost papers and
it allows students to more

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:06.270
easily catch up if they fall
behind. So how do we do it?

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.930
We're gonna be walking you
through some straightforward

00:01:08.930 --> 00:01:12.660
strategies to limit paper in
your classroom action first when

00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:14.910
thinking about a unit or an
assignment actually.

00:01:14.910 --> 00:01:18.620
So could this live in google
classroom or google forms as we

00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:21.660
know from our time in remote
learning google classroom allows

00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:23.950
teachers to sort their materials
under headings.

00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.720
We recommend using units as
titles and using a system to

00:01:27.730 --> 00:01:31.340
indicate which day the materials
occurred on here is a model

00:01:31.350 --> 00:01:35.090
school classroom where you can
see here, we have mr,

00:01:35.090 --> 00:01:37.650
Carlos is model google
classroom.

00:01:37.650 --> 00:01:41.450
We see the section the name of
the class and then he's organized

00:01:41.450 --> 00:01:45.160
it by unit and weak. So students
know when this happened,

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:49.080
they have access to all of the
resources from that week.

00:01:49.090 --> 00:01:55.860
He's also using miracle
organization system here and students

00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:57.860
can easily locate their work.

00:01:58.840 --> 00:01:59.840
Mhm.

00:02:00.140 --> 00:02:03.150
Instead of using paper homework,

00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:06.640
considering using google forms
for students to submit answers to

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.880
questions to homework,

00:02:07.890 --> 00:02:11.540
making use of the notebook or
scratch paper to do their work.

00:02:11.550 --> 00:02:14.940
Google forms also has an added
bonus of auto grating.

00:02:14.950 --> 00:02:16.690
If you use the answer key
feature.

00:02:16.700 --> 00:02:19.000
If your assignment needs to be
on paper,

00:02:19.010 --> 00:02:23.110
consider using a high page
cutting machine to be more paper

00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:26.140
conscious. You can also make
sure you're printing double sided.

00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:29.240
Another option is to print a
class set,

00:02:29.540 --> 00:02:33.890
put it into a reusable plastic
sleeve and let students annotate

00:02:33.890 --> 00:02:36.140
or right on it using white board
markers.

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:39.450
You can also still make sure you
get that formative assessment

00:02:39.450 --> 00:02:42.600
data by using a clipboard or
your laptop to walk around and

00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:43.610
record student answers.

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:47.090
If you do need to use paper,
consider using a scratch paper,

00:02:47.090 --> 00:02:47.920
been in your room.

00:02:47.930 --> 00:02:52.240
It could be as simple as a
cardboard box or official home office.

00:02:52.250 --> 00:02:56.020
Then QR codes are a fun way to
make use of technology and save

00:02:56.020 --> 00:02:58.610
paper. You can create free QR
codes at Q.

00:02:58.610 --> 00:03:02.200
R code monkey dot com and
students can use their phone cameras

00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:06.200
to access the website. You
links,

00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:18.130
we would really love to have
your help in limiting our use of

00:03:18.140 --> 00:03:22.150
paper and with that our impact
on the world's finite resources.

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.500
The sustainability council is
here to answer any questions or

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:28.500
hear any ideas you may have.

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.710
Thank you for helping us to put
the green back in the Brooklyn

00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:39.880
Green School.
