    Introducing Google Play for Education, the online destination where schools +can find the right tablet content and tools for their students and teachers.

    + +

    With easy bulk ordering for groups, schools will be able to purchase and +instantly distribute apps, videos, and books right to their students’ +devices.

    + +

    The Google Play team looks forward to seeing you create first class content +that will help schools. We want to help you create innovative educational apps, +without having to knock on school doors to reach teachers and students.

    + + +
    +
    +

    For Developers

    + +

    Get discovered

    + +

    With Google Play for Education, teachers and administrators will be able to +browse content by curriculum, grade, and standard — discovering the right +content at the right time for their students. If your app offers an exciting new +way to learn sixth grade algebra, we'll make it easy for math educators to find, +purchase, and distribute your app to their classes.

    + +

    Reach more schools and students

    + +

    Google has built a strong network of K-12 schools who are already using +Google Apps for Education and other Google services. These schools are excited +and looking forward to bringing your apps and content into their classrooms with +Nexus tablets.

    + +

    Monetize effectively

    +

    With the wide launch of Google Play for Education later this year, educators +will be able to make high-volume purchases using standard institutional payment +mechanisms and distribute them to the students they want — whether it is a +class of 30 or a district of 30,000.

    + +
    + +
    +

    For Educators

    +

    Android tablets in the classroom

    +

    Google Play for Education brings the innovation of Android technology +into classrooms. Educators can set up and deploy large numbers of devices in +just minutes or hours rather than days.

    + +

    Curriculum-based discovery

    +

    Powerful browsing tools let educators quickly discover apps, books, +videos, and other content—with many recommended by teachers and +categorized according to familiar Core Curriculum standards. + +

    Bulk purchase with institutional payment

    +

    Convenient purchasing and delivery tools let educators buy apps in bulk +using purchase orders and other payment methods that are easy for schools to +manage.

    + +

    Over-the-air delivery to student devices

    + +

    After finding apps they want to use, educators can push them instantly +to student devices over the air. They can send the apps to individuals or groups +of any size, across classrooms, schools, or even districts.

    If you've got a great app for education or just an idea for one, plan to be a +part of Google Play for Education to reach even more teachers and students. It's +easy to participate, and you will be able to offer new or existing Android apps +using the familiar tools in Google Play.

    + +

    To get started, review the sections in this document and learn about the +safety, usability, and quality guidelines that apps should meet. Assess your +apps against these guidelines and make any adjustments needed. You can use the +linked resources to help you develop a great app for students that offers +compelling content and an intuitive user experience on Android tablets.

    + +

    Safety First

    + +

    To participate, your apps must be designed to be usable and appropriate for +the K-12 market. The basic requirements that your apps must meet are:

    + +
      +
    1. Apps and the ads they contain must not collect personally identifiable +information other than user credentials or data required to operate and improve +the app.
      2. +
    2. Apps must not use student data for purposes unrelated to its educational +function.
      3. +
    3. Apps must have a content rating of "Everyone" or "Low Maturity" (apps with +a "Medium Maturity" rating are allowed, if they have that rating solely because +they allow communication between students).
      4. +
    4. App content, including ads displayed by the app, must be consistent with +the app's maturity rating. The app must not display any “offensive” content, as +described in the Google Play +Developer Program Policies and +content-rating guidelines.

      5. +
    + + +

    With the Help of Educators

    + +

    App content submitted to Google Play for Education will be reviewed by +educators who will categorize the apps and align them with Common Core Standards. This will help make your content +discoverable in a way that is easy for teachers and administrators.

    + + +

    Sold Simply

    + +

    Google Play for Education provides a simple and secure environment in which +educators can buy apps in a way that's easy for schools — through purchase +orders. Your apps must support this environment by ensuring that they:

    + + + +

    In addition, it's highly recommended that your apps:

    + + +

    High Quality and Usability

    + +

    Google Play for Education brings educational content to students and teachers +on Android tablets. Your apps should be designed to perform well and look great +on Android tablets, and they should offer the best user experience possible. +

    + +

    High quality apps are engaging, intuitive, and offer compelling content. +Google Play for Education will highlight high-quality apps for easy discovery in +the store. Here are some recommendations for making your app easy for students +and teachers to enjoy.

    + + +

    In addition, it's highly recommended that your apps:

    + + + +

    Strategies for Development

    + +

    If you have an existing educational app in Google Play, the classroom +environment offered by Google Play for Education presents a slightly different +set of needs, requirements, and also opportunities.

    + +

    We're working to give you the tools you need to build for the classroom +environment from a single APK, delivered as a single product to all of your +users in Google Play. Our goal is to let you customize your app's UI and +features as minimally or deeply as you need, to provide a simple, intuitive, and +beautiful learning experience.

    + +

    Watch for more information on developer tools coming in the weeks ahead. +We'll update this page as we roll out tools for you to use. As a starting point, +we recommend planning your app's design and ensuring its optimization on Nexus +tablets.
