This document discusses the concept of a paperless classroom using e-learning and information technology. It describes how computers and technology are becoming integral parts of education. A paperless classroom would eliminate hard copies of materials like assignments, handouts, and rubrics, instead providing these digitally. E-learning tools that can enable a paperless classroom include learning management systems, email, digital presentations, and online resources. Benefits of this approach include being more environmentally friendly, enhancing student engagement, allowing immediate feedback, and easier tracking of student progress. Barriers include the need for funding, access to technology, and teacher training in educational institutions.
