Pencil Me In: A Journey in the Fight for Graphite

By John T. Spencer

Tom Johnson has a dream for his students. It begins with a goal of a one-to-one student to pencils ratio and eventually grows into a goal of completely redesigning school in light of the twentieth century. Over time, he experiences a chance to use telegraphs, photographs, cameras and other media to redefine his students' learning experience. Written as an allegory for educational technology, this book uses nineteenth century metaphors to make sense out of the most relevant issues facing teachers who want to integrate new technology into the curriculum.
