Chromebook Apps for Education

Finding the right apps for any device can be confusing and overwhelming. It can also be expensive  when you deploy these devices in large number. How does a classroom, school or school district get the most out of their Chromebooks while at the same time easily find the right apps at the right price? Our suggestion would be using Google's Apps for Education website [Click Here] Not only has Google made it quick and easy to locate educational apps with one stop shopping, but they have also put them in categories based of k-5, 6-8 and 9-12.  The app are also categorized by three payment types -
  • Free:   A product is provided free of charge
  • Freemium:   A product is provided free of charge, but a premium is charged for advanced features
  • Paid:   A product is charged a fee for usage
When these apps licenses are purchased in bulk of 20 or more, discounts will be applied saving your institution additional costs. (Chromebook Management Console is required)
