Thank you Living Sky School Division for giving me a laptop for my desk. Thank you also for the wireless internet that goes with it. I am finding that I am finding new ways to use it productively while I am at my desk. For example, I've been experimenting the first days or weeks of school with the Spreadsheets on Google Docs to not only create class lists, but also to record marks, lockers, locker combinations etc. etc. I know I can use Open Admin; however it takes time for all the info to be inputted into the system. So far, I've created a spreadsheet for each grade I teach, and have been adding pages as I need them. I can keep them open all day with out them logging off. I can also access them on any computer on any network. I can also add student names when I need to. I'm a little nervous going "paperless"...
So far, after 4 days, it seems to be working. Any tips from anyone using it for the same thing?

Have you tried out Google forms yet? I am moving towards what you are doing but I have not jumped in whole hog yet. Good luck with it. Keep us updated on how it works out.
I am excited for you! Good job! I understand your being a little nervous. If you are still worried then I suggest just backing them up by saving on a flash drive or something. I know that sometimes google docs can be a hassle if your computer is slow or if your internet connection mysteriously does not work on days when you really need it, but I am proud of your steps to go paperless! Very environmentally friendly Pcone! :-)
