Thanks to Ann Girres for posting a hit on excessive printing. Like most of you, I complain constantly about excessive printing. We sometimes recycle over 500 sheets a day of printing no one picks up. Ignorance is one reason students print so much. They don't know how to highlight their text and then print only the selected text. As I was looking though all of our networked CD-ROM's including World Book, SIRS, etc., I noticed there are ways on the setup of each of these to limit printing. For example in World Book, on the File menu, go to preferences. You can limit the number of pages students print as well as eliminate graphics. In SIRS you can disable printing and allow notepad so they can literally cut and paste what they really need. Maybe instead of complaining and/or looking the other way, we need to take a more proactive way of forcing students to be selective in their printing.
