Graphite™
Graphite™ is a free service from the nonprofit organization, Common Sense Media. It is designed to help preK-12 educators discover, use, and share the best apps, games, websites, and digital resources for students. It provides unbiased, rigorous ratings and practical insights from our active community of teachers. Graphite™ is built by teachers for teachers, and is organized so educators can search by digital resource type (app, game or website), grade level or subject area as well as free or paid resources.
Both Minecraft and Gamestar Mechanic are reviewed in Graphite™. I introduced both of these games at the gaming session I presented in August.

Shmoop gives students (grades 5-12) help and explanations, as well as a dose of humor. Check out the various resources for literature, civics, economics, digital literacy, math, poetry, or more including information about drivers education (DMV) from each state. Much of the site is free, but there are some materials that are fee-based.
