Technology in the classroom

I have been reading about advances in the classroom in the 21st century, and I am wondering if an entirely paperless classroom is already a reality, I have tried to reduce the paper used in my classroom and increase the technology utilized, but I am still not sure about how to proceed. I plan to network with other teachers in my school...those I know are tech savvy...to determine what basic things I can do to utilize more tech tools and less paper while maximizing learning. I think the best teaching practice ideas and strategies I have gotten have come from fellow teachers "in the trenches" rather than books and articles about teaching.

One of the "problems" when you use less paper is that parents don't see daily work come home. This year, I'm experimenting with a classroom blog to show parents the work their children are doing in class. In the past I've used newscasts. I'll probably start newscasts again in the second quarter.
