Praise for The Paperless Classroom workshop and web-based instruction from workshop participants, teachers and students
"Mark Barnes' Paperless Classroom workshop and materials were beyond helpful. Mark is an excellent instructor who inspired the teachers at our school to reinvent their classrooms by making website construction accessible to a variety of ability levels. I can't wait to unveil the website with the new school year. Thanks Mark!" “I love (web-based instruction). It’s easy, accessible and just so convenient to use. It’s amazing, and it makes me look forward to coming to class.”
-- Nicholas Dorn, teacher Pepper Pike, OH
-- Lia, 7th grader
“With a web-based classroom students don’t fall behind when absent. They can see exactly what they missed and in many cases complete the work at home with no additional help from the teacher.”
-- Brindi Kandel, teacher Findlay, OH
"There are many advantages to having a class website. It helps us so we don't have to worry about leaving our assignments in our locker or our hamster eating our homework. It's there on the internet and is able to be accessed from anywhere, so our lives become a little less easier."
-- Beth, 7th grader
"Having a class website is a great way of teaching. For example, with the website, you can save your classwork onto your own private page, so that you can continue to work on it at home. Not only that, but we are saving paper while we are learning in a more efficient way."
-- Meghan, 7th grader
