We all know that paperless classrooms help students and teachers stay organized and save teachers trips to the printer, but are the paper savings significant enough to impact your school budget?
To help you find out, we’ve created a paperless savings calculator. You can easily discover your savings by adjusting the values for teachers, students and assignments on the sliders below.

To provide some context, in her blog, Showbie Champion Kristi Meeuwse stated that her school saves $21,000 a year as a result of going paperless by reducing and cutting out the money spent on paper usage, copies, ink and toner.
Educator Kelly Turcotte, who we covered in a case study, also told us that she had over 4,500 documents in Showbie in one year, and she’s proud of the results:
“I can’t tell you how much we save by not printing paper! I’m on year 2 of using Showbie and Amanda tells me I have over 4,500 documents. I’m one of 14 teachers in my school, too.”
In apps like Showbie, going paperless is as easy as snapping a photo of your assignment and sharing it with your students — or even by creating a digital assignment.
