I have recently had a training and on and have became a Graphite Educator. I must say that being a member of the Graphite team has its perks. So far they have paid for my thoughts and sent me a lovely newbie gift (a shirt, fleece, and a water canteen), but I am positive that the best part of being a graphite educator is having the new connection to thousands of other teachers who have taken time to review apps, sites, and games that I know now will be beneficial or a waste of time for my kids. Upon browsing the site I have found numerous apps that I am taking time to try out in my classroom. I have also found websites that I never knew existed. Graphite has opened up a new teacher world for me that will continue to revolutionize how I teach and for that I am grateful.
