  • No More Paper!

    What this Wiki is All About

    No More Paper wiki is a place where educators from K-12 can learn what is a digital equavalent of an analog lesson.

    For instance, if a teacher has a mind mapping lesson, that is a traditional analog lesson. They could do the exact same project in a program like Kidspiration or Inspiration.

    So, instead of telling teachers to add onto lessons, this site is dedicated to showing the digital equivalent of the exact same lesson.
    Instead of, not in addition to…that is the motto of this site!

  • How Many of Me

    There are 306,048,176 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. lined up single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times. That’s a lot of people.

    The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 88,799 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.

    There are 50,539 people named John Smith in the United States. There are 1,069 people named James Bond, 115 people named Harry Potter , 513 people named George Bush, and 32 people named Emily Dickinson. However, Johnny Cash (39 people) songs aside there are, statistically speaking, very few boys named Sue.

    What about you? How many people share your name? Enter it and find out how many of you there are.
