Google closes Play for Education program

Google’s shuttering its Play for Education program three years after it was first announced and made available in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. The program was meant to encourage the use of tablets in the classroom. Starting March 14, the company will stop selling licenses for Play for Education but they will continue to support existing license holders for an unspecified period of time. The Next Web speculates that the focus of Google at the moment is getting more Chromebooks into the classroom. We hope that becomes a more viable solution to help kids learn in school.
