8:30-9:30 a.m. Monday, June 11, 2012 Center Grove High School
Keynote: John T. Spencer Pencil Me In is an educational technology
allegory. It tells the story of Tom Johnson, who
fights to integrate pencils into his classroom and
faces personal, political and social challenges.
Fusing together satirical scenarios, thought-
provoking dialogue and a compelling
narrative, it is a story that many will
relate to as they integrate technology
into the classroom.
