#PencilChatIf we give every student a [pencil] we will have no control over the things they write.

#PencilChat[Pencils] are scary. Too dangerous for students to use without supervision.

#PencilChatThe kids know how to use a [pencil] better than I do. I don’t want to look dumb in front of the students.

#PencilChatWhat if the [pencil] breaks in the middle of my class? What will I do then? I don’t know how to fix a [pencil].

#PencilChatSeriously though... I'm really sick of hearing about shiny new [pencils] at conferences. It's not the [pencil], it's the pedagogy.
