Pencil labs? We wouldn't think of such a thing ... It was a point made by former Governor Angus, King, Jr. of Maine in a keynote address to the Rutherford County Blue Ribbon 21st Century Commission inaugural meeting. A pencil can do most things a computers can do. It might take a little longer. But imagine if we confined students to just 45 minutes each day to a "pencil lab." It would be the only time they could use a pencil during the school day. So why do we limit students learning through the same allocation of computer access? What do you think?
