Educational Apps

amwood98 · 08/03/2011, 02:41 PM

I work for HP, so I understand the unit/webOS. What I don't know is are there many educational Apps out there. I have younger (6 & 11) school age kids and want this to be more of a tool than a toy. What is out there? A lot, little, somewhere in between? Is there a good spot which lists them (minus the marketing hype)? Thanks in advance.

why don't you pop an internal email to some of the people involved in HP K-12?
Maybe they will give you a roadmap. It won't be Apple with all kinds of 3rd party devs already having apps but it could very well be that HP is forming a coherent strategy for the education market with 3rd party support, a lot of schools and vendors were crowding around the TouchPad at a recent edtech conference:
