Google Play adds a 'Teacher Approved' section to its app store

By ITS Education Asia


Check out this new feature of Google Play reported in the Techcrunch.  There are some great family friendly education apps to be found here that could be used to help parents with their home schooling efforts.

Google has added a new “Teacher Approved” section to Google Play. All apps found in this section are vetted by a panel of reviewers, including more than 200 teachers across the U.S., and meet Google’s existing requirements for its “Designed for Families” program.

That program requires apps to meet government regulations around data collection and ad targeting, and also limits the types of ads that can be displayed to children, if apps are ad-supported.

The apps chosen for the “Teacher Approved” section, however, don’t just meet the program’s minimum requirements — they’re also reviewed and rated highly by teachers. These may be apps teachers suggest for supplemental learning while others may just be used for fun.
