Graphite reviews apps, games, and websites that for their educational usefulness. A consistent review template makes the reviews easy to browse and compare. Each tech tool is reviewed by Graphite, and most also show scores from teacher reviews as well. The reviews are focused and have sufficient detail to be helpful. Potential issues for educational use (such as age limits) are noted. Use the filters on the "Reviews and Ratings" tab to find apps right for your school, or use the "Top Picks" area to compare tools for similar purposes (making videos, or formative assessments, for example). There is a Common Core Explorer that will suggest tools that fit each standard, and there is also a Teacher Center that includes lesson plans made to take advantage of the tools.
