graphite.org -- Teacher Rated Resources, Apps, Websites, and more

Hello all!  I thought I'd try this out with my very first blog post (ever!).

My favorite take-away from ICE this year was a website called Graphite (graphite.org).  This site makes finding quality tech resources easy.  You can search by topic, type, price, purpose, etc. and it returns a list of tested and approved results, hopefully saving us from trying terrible apps and websites.  They have a list of top picks for each category, offer lesson plans incorporating these resources, and can link everything to CCSS (if you're into that).  There's also a Blog and you can set up a "board" of your favorite sites/tools (think Pinterest meets Symbaloo).

I'm still learning the site myself, but I hope you like it as much as I do.  :)  Peace, Kiera (MEES, 2nd Dual English)
