Google Play for Education!
It has been a good two weeks for tablets in the education market. First Apple announces the new managed distribution model for app deployment on iPads (here's my post about that) and now this announcement from Google.
Google Play for Education is a selection of apps, videos, and books all selected by teachers and grouped by age, course, and even common core standard. This will be a great boon for educators all over. Having an app store were at least some semblance of oversight has been given and it's not like the wild west where anything goes.
Google has even realized that schools aren't like individuals and with access to credit cards and that the majority of our purchases have to be made with POs. Now we've got access to curated content and the ability to actually pay for it.
I can't wait to get a chance to actually get my hands on this and try it out.
