Revitalizing
paper-based work
in the classroom
Astounding technology for scanning and creating.
Why Paper?
Digital and physical media can and should coexist. Here's why we want paper to stick around:Focused Learning
It's no secret that devices can be distracting and they shouldn't be the only way to do classwork. Teachers already agree: 79% of middle and high school teachers we surveyed say they scan or have their students scan paper work at least sometimes.
Accessibility
Not all students have reliable Wi-Fi at home and an increasing number of parents are pushing to opt-out of school devices. Paper Orca helps teachers cater to more needs without duplicating work.
Affordability
One-to-one devices may reduce paper, but they're not cheap (or easy on the earth) to purchase and maintain. Heavy use only exacerbates this cost.
Security
121 US districts and universities suffered a serious ransomeware attack in 2023, resulting in an average downtime of 12.6 days (source: Comparitech). Using paper in your classroom routine gives you the flexibility to reduce the impact of incidents, big or small.
Creativity
Paper is fun! We love it for drawing diagrams, annotating text, working through equations, illustrating narratives, and creating art.
