Case Study: British boarding school achieves a paperless, collaborative classroom with Miro

Inside the process of creating a paperless classroom

Tim Jefferis, a teacher at a British Boarding School, faced the usual headaches of a paper-based curriculum: outdated, hard-to-retrieve resources, long photocopier queues, and time-consuming prep during a short-term staffing stretch. He adopted Miro as the core of a paperless classroom to support geography and religious studies teaching and to replace binders, handouts and acetates with shareable online boards.

Using Miro boards for each topic, the Chrome extension and Google Docs integration, Jefferis reorganized lesson prep and student collaboration so materials are easy to store, find and update; pupils can work in real time and teachers can monitor progress second-by-second. Miro cut prep workflows to “a fraction of the time,” eliminated much photocopying, improved class engagement and record-keeping, and made collaborative teaching and department oversight far more efficient.
