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.
