Can you imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? No paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.
A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm-sized, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.
Having computers also means that students can use the Wed. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from Maths to social science.
High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida., US, described how her class used the Wed to refugee camps,” she said. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper each week to each student.
“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.
But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.
In a paperless classroom, what is a must?
A. Pens. B. Computers. C. Textbooks D. Pencils.
The high school teacher, Judy Harrell, used the example of her class to show that ________
A. the Web could take them everywhere
B. the Web taught them everything.
C. the Web is a good tool for information
D. the Web is where you can download information
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a paperless classroom?
A. You won’t get angry with your pen.
B. Computers may break down sometimes.
C. Students can get information from Internet.
D. A lot of money or money or trees will be saved.
