Android Education Apps.

I have been recently focusing on the iPad and iOS devices for education primarily because this is the platform that is most used here by educators. Looking at it from a student perspective, Android tablets (such as the Kindle Fire) represent a much more cost effective solution for one on a budget. Add to that the plethora of different Android-based smart phones on the market, and this seems to me to be a segment of the education market for technology that cannot be ignored.

I just ordered an Android tablet and an Android-based phone to replace my broken Windows 7 phone. Impressions on the differences and the availability of apps for education will be forthcoming soon.

Here is the list of education apps currently at the Google Play store. More on these soon: https://play.google.com/store/apps/category/EDUCATION?hl=en
