- <strong>What is Google Play for Education?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Google Play for Education is a new online destination designed for schools.
- Teachers can discover educational apps, books, and videos to meet the needs
- of a single student, a classroom, or a whole district. Educators can browse
- apps by grade, subject, keyword, or standard including Common Core State
- Standards. Purchasing is done using a PO with no credit card required. Apps
- are distributed to tablets instantly through the cloud.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Is Google Play for Education primarily for students or
- educators?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- The store on Google Play for Education is for educators, but its content is
- for both educators and students. Teachers and administrators have the ability
- to make purchases and control who within their school has access to the
- purchase flows.

-
-<p>
- <strong>Will Google Play for Education support subscription
- purchases?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Currently, Google Play for Education supports one-time purchases. We’re
- investigating additional purchase mechanisms to enable more flexible pricing
- models for developers and schools.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Why is it recommended that in-app purchase features are
- removed?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- In-app Billing is currently not supported with Google Play for Education, and
- a student device will block the Google Play transaction if a student attempts
- to make an in-app purchase. To avoid confusing students, we recommend not
- including any in-app purchase buttons and other UI in your apps. We’re
- investigating additional purchase mechanisms to enable more flexible pricing
- models for developers and schools.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Is Google Play for Education restricted so only its users can
- purchase from the Google Play for Education? Or will anyone be able to
- purchase from it?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Currently, only schools that are signed up for Google Play for Education can
- make purchases on it.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Can I set different prices for my apps in Google Play for Education
- and Google Play?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- You set a single price for each app that applies to both Google Play and
- Google Play for Education. You can’t set a different price for a given app
- (based on a single package name) in Google Play for Education.

- Free Trials
- </h2>
-
-
-</div>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Can I offer free trials through Google Play for Education?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Google Play for Education doesn't currently support free trials. If you want,
- you can offer a free version of your app with limited functionality in Google
- Play for Education, but that app would need to be separate from your paid app
- and be reviewed separately for educational content.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Can I offer a free trial through Google Play's "In-app Subscriptions
- with Free Trials" feature?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Google Play for Education doesn’t currently support In-app Billing or In-app
- Subscriptions with free trials.

- <strong>What are the categories in Google Play for Education?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Google Play for Education includes categories for all grade levels from
- Kindergarten to 12 and the following subjects: English Language Arts, World
- Languages, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Elective, Open Education
- Resources (OER), and Tools.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>I created an app specifically for Google Play for Education and don’t
- want it to show up in Google Play. Is this possible?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Currently, it’s not possible to publish an app on Google Play for Education
- and make it unavailable on Google Play.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>If my app offers content for every level of education, how will it
- fit the Common Core State Standard filters?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- If your app applies to multiple levels of education, then the app will show
- up in filtered results for multiple levels.

- App Review Process
- </h2>
-
-
-</div>
-
-<p>
- <strong>How are apps being reviewed? By whom and against what
- criteria?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Apps are being reviewed by a third-party network of educators. These
- educators assign the appropriate subject, grade, and Common Core State
- Standards metadata, as well as evaluating whether the app meets the Google
- Play for Education <a href=
- "{@docRoot}distribute/essentials/gpfe-guidelines.html">criteria for classroom
- use</a>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>How do I update my apps in Google Play for Education?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- You can update your apps on Google Play for Education in the same manner you
- do on Google Play. App updates will not be reviewed prior to being made
- available through Google Play for Education. However, we will periodically
- review updated apps for quality.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Does the app maturity rating reflect solely on what a user can do
- within my Android app, or does the web version of my app influence the rating
- as well?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- The maturity rating that you set for an Android app refers only to the
- content displayed in that app.

- <strong>Do I need separate builds of my phone and tablet apps for Google Play
- for Education, or is it the exact same app that lives on Google
- Play?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- We recommend you create one app and use it in both Google Play and Google
- Play for Education.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>What is the best way to get students’ work within apps sent back to
- their teachers?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Teachers have mentioned that many apps achieve this by email from a third
- party, which isn’t optimal for schools. As many schools use Google Apps for
- Education, consider integrating your apps with Google Drive using the
- <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/about-sdk">SDK</a>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>How can developers test the teacher experience in Google Play for
- Education? Is there a way to get an account to test it?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Currently, we are unable to provide developers with a test account to test
- the Google Play for Education user experience. We’re investigating ways to
- allow developers to simulate the environment.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>If I already have an app in the Chrome Apps Pack will I get some help
- migrating this to Android?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- If you’d like to reach tablet users in schools we encourage you to build a
- native app for the optimal user experience. Considerations for building your
- apps can be found in the <a href=
- "{@docRoot}distribute/essentials/gpfe-guidelines.html">Google Play for
- Education Guidelines</a>.

- <strong>What are you doing to promote these apps to educators?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Google Play for Education is an extension of Google Play targeting schools
- and making the discovery of educational apps easier. It helps your apps gain
- visibility with the right audiences, without having to knock on school doors.
- We’re constantly referring to the highest quality apps in our educator
- outreach. We’ve also developed a series of collections to help educators
- quickly browse apps for the most common use cases.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>How many installs have similar apps had on Google Play for Education?
- How much can I expect to make if I do an ROI analysis?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- While we cannot disclose specific numbers, Google Play app listings provide
- app download ranges for all apps.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>What is the seasonality like for the education market? What are the
- key timing considerations for app developers?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- In the United States, school districts’ budget decisions go through a
- planning phase in the Spring with budgets being released on July 1. We’ve
- observed high purchase-volumes in the second quarter of the calendar year, to
- use up end-of-year budgets. New budget purchases begin in the third quarter
- of the calendar year.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Is there a way to offer a special deal, such as a discount, only on
- Google Play for Education and not on Google Play?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- No, this isn’t possible. Pricing, including special offers, must be the same
- between Google Play for Education and Google Play.

-<p>
- <strong>Which devices are available in the program? Will more be
- available?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Nexus 7 is available for shipment now, and the Asus Transformer, HP Slate 8
- Pro, and Galaxy Tab for Education will be available in early 2014. We look
- forward to welcoming more Android devices into the Google in Education family
- soon.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>Can the devices be shared among many students?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- No. Currently, this program is for one-to-one use. Each student can login to
- one specific tablet that is allocated to them.

-
-<p>
- <strong>Will an app know whether a user is a teacher or student?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- No, the app has no mechanism for knowing if it’s running on a teacher’s
- device or a student’s device. We recommend developers use their own user
- database to enable this feature, where logins can be based on Google Account
- information.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- <strong>What log-in method do you recommend for an app on Google Play for
- Education?</strong>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- One of the key pieces of feedback we’ve heard multiple times from various
- schools is that they prefer apps that offer Google Single Sign-on, so that
- teachers and students don’t need to remember multiple log-in credentials. As
- schools in the program use Google Accounts and Google Apps for Education,
- offering Google Single Sign-on is ideal.
