Going PaperlessMatt Munday and Melanie Campbell

Why Go Paperless1) Cost Savings2) Mobility3) Squad Evidence Organization4) PR5) Environmentally Friendly

Cost SavingsInitial start up cost may make paperless seem pointless but it saves money in the long runSupplies- No longer need paper printing copying

expandos dollies etc Especially helpful when school districts are rationing supplies bc of tight budgets

Travel- Less tubs means more space for people instead of tubs in vehicles which means renting fewer vans for out of town tournaments or being able to rent compact cars that require less gas If you fly you also donrsquot have to pay extra baggage fees

MobilityPaperless makes travel and actual tournaments easierTraveling requires less space Saves time AT tournaments Clean up time after a

debate is functionally non existent which means rounds can start on timetournaments end earlier Kids can also get to their rounds faster without dragging 5 tubs along

Squad Evidence Cohesion Going paperless makes evidence distribution really easy All you need to do is universalize the template and create a dropbox account (which is free)Everyone has access to all the filesndash donrsquot have to rely on

someone distributing politics updatesNO ONE EVER LOSES EVIDENCE You wonrsquot have to drive kids

back bc they forgot their 1AC or hear them complain about losing a round bc they couldnrsquot find a specific case neg

PRGoing paperless can get a lot of positive PR response Whitman received national attention for going entirely paperless (The Paper Debate httpwwwnytimescom20100418educationedlife18debate-thtml_r=1Not as relevant for HS debate but there is never a bad time to

impress the administration especially when money is tight

EnvironmentProbably not the reason that convinces you go to go paperless but still not a bad thingSaves a lot of paper ink cartridges etcMay be offset by the use of laptops

Making the TransitionTransitioning to paperless is the hardest part Once people have transitioned this is very minimal effortcost Things yoursquoll need1) Supplies2) Know how to use the template3) Learn how to troubleshoot the template

Supplies (Necessities) A laptop for each debater (PC is traditionally preferred but

most of the KU squad uses Mac without any problem)A viewing laptop in case the other team does not have a

computer to view evidence on (this does not have to be high endndash KU uses low end Acer netbooks)

The newest version of Microsoft Word Word 1011 for PC (07 will function) Word 11 for Mac (04 will function but 08 will not) You do NOT

have to bootcamp

Barrier 1mdashLap TopsNot all high school kids have laptops Possible solutions-There are very low cost laptop options availableSquad laptops to loan out for the weekendIf these donrsquot work consider making your squad partially paperless if you have partnerships who are capable of doing it This will still decrease the amount of copying you have to do etc

Barrier 2-SoftwareMicrosoft can be really expensive unfortunately openoffice and pages donrsquot work with paperlessUse an older copy of WordEbaySchool Licenses
