Going PaperlessMatt Munday and Melanie Campbell
Why Go Paperless1) Cost Savings
2) Mobility
3) Squad Evidence Organization
4) PR
5) Environmentally Friendly
Cost SavingsInitial start up cost may make paperless seem pointless but it saves money in the long run
Supplies- 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 easier
Traveling 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 updates
NO 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=1
Not 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 thing
Saves a lot of paper ink cartridges etc
May 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 need
1) Supplies
2) Know how to use the template
3) 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
The template (httppaperlessdebatecomverbatim)
Barrier 1mdashLap TopsNot all high school kids have laptops Possible solutions-
There are very low cost laptop options available
Squad laptops to loan out for the weekend
If 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 paperless
Use an older copy of Word
Ebay
School Licenses
