Students pushing paperless

Are there any students out there who aren’t connected to the Web all the time? They have iPhones, Droids, and Pres. They have netbooks, notebooks, and desktops. WiFi is ubiquitous, mobile broadband is increasingly common, and these little Digital Natives still print like there’s no tomorrow.

Sure, we can impose print quotas, we can train them to cut and past web content into a word processor before they print, and we can generally reduce their paper consumption. But why are they printing in the first place? Why aren’t our students driving us towards the paperless ideal? A pat answer would be that we simply haven’t enabled them to work without paper or that we haven’t created a culture that encourages work in a paper-free environment. However, I think the real answer is quite a bit more complicated than that.
