Produced with Emery Premeaux of Tokyo Hacker Space.

Good lesson ideas often meet their doom at the hands of the most petty of practicalities. Printing and cutting and laminating and re-cutting and trimming allows you to enjoy an activity several times, but takes forever. The construction of your clever passport is too complicated to do with just a regular stapler. Lesson plans, materials, and notes exist in a constellation around your desk - these are all common problems for the authors. We hope a review of some alternative uses of school supplies and the introduction of lesser-known tools will close the gap between idea and execution that so often exists.
