- This is my 22nd year of teaching.
- I have accumulated a huge number of files in that period of time.
- Cleaning out said files is a enormous job.
- Personal scanners are relatively inexpensive.
- Thumb drives hold many, many, many files in an itty-bitty space.
Questions to ask myself:
- Have I used this material in the past 1, 2, 5, 10, or 2o years?
- Even if I have, is it worth the time it will take to scan it?
- How easily can I acquire the same or similar material online?
(I was sure that a scanner was the answer to my dilemma about what to do with my files. Now I'm not so sure. Oh dear.)
