Especially when it comes to my classroom. Who doesn't?!
When I first started teaching years and years ago, technology was not a big part of the classroom. All of my data and meticulous notes were kept in a giant 5 inch binder.
Seriously.
It had all kinds of papers for each student: reading conference forms, writing forms, math data forms, anecdotal notes, behavioral notes, parent contact, and more I'm sure I'm forgetting. It was giant but it was necessary. My favorite part was getting to lug it around to all my meetings...
Luckily, technology is our friend (most days) and I have been able to replace all that paper with a simple, useful, personal system.
