most Google Play store updates and makes it easy for families to find educational apps. A new section for the store welcomes “Children” containing applications “teacher approved”. Google claims that all apps in this category have been verified by a review panel, including more than 200 teachers in the United States, and meet the requirements for the “For Families” program.
This new category of the Google Play Store was due later this year, but Google decided to highlight the launch in the context of covid-19, where millions of children are out of school. Google wants to make a small contribution to helping parents keep their kids busy in a useful way. Unfortunately, this episode is currently only available in the United States. It will be launched in other countries in the coming months.
Google worked with education experts to create the App Rating Framework. They are mostly chosen by a panel of teachers. Second, it evaluates applications from various aspects such as eligibility. age category, quality of experience, enrichment of knowledge, etc. Applications are grouped by age group: 5 years and below, 6 to 8 years and 9 to 12 years.
Google also includes information in each app’s description detailing why it was selected by the review panel. Around 1,000 apps will be available in the new category of the Google Play Store, of which about 60 are included in Google Play Pass. The number of verified apps for kids will increase over time. It’s impossible to say when the new episode will go on sale in France. Google says it should wait a few months without giving more details.
