Adventures in Pencil Integration

From the blog sidebar: "The year is 1897 and Tom Johnson works for a small school district. This is the story of the journey to move into the twentieth century with paper and pencil integration initiatives.

Yes, this is entirely fictional and any relation to "real life" is entirely coincidental."

If you're a tech-savvy person who doesn't like working with people who are actually fearful of on-line grade books, this is the blog for you. The premise: slates are becoming passe'. Adventurous teachers are moving forward (with some trepidation) to using paper and pencils. Students are introduced to "plogs" (pencil-logs). Teachers fret over whether students are responsible enough to wisely use the technology--what if they start drawing???

Go to the beginning of the blog (around the first of the year) and enjoy this fine bit of satire. The author, John Spenser, also maintains Musings from a Not-So-Master Teacher. Both are good reads and regularly up-dated.
