    <p>
      With Google Play for Education, teachers and administrators can browse
      content by curriculum, grade, and standard &mdash; discovering the right
      content for their students. If your app offers an exciting new way to
      learn sixth grade algebra, math educators will be able to find, purchase,
      and distribute your app to their classes in a few clicks.
    </p>

      Millions of students, faculty, and staff are using Google Apps for
      Education and other Google services. Many of these schools are excited to
      take advantage of tablets with Google Play for Education and they are
      looking to bring your apps into their classrooms, especially apps using
      Google sign-on.
    </p>
    <b>Monetize effectively</b>
    <p>
      With Google Play for Education, educators are able to make high-volume
      purchases using standard institutional payment mechanisms and then

      20 or a district of 20,000.

      using purchase orders and other payment methods that are easy for schools
      to manage.
    </p>
    <b>Over-the-air delivery to student devices</b>
    <p>
      After finding apps they want, 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.
