Week 3

I found the Hirsh-Pasek article incredibly compelling due to its potential real world applications. Particularly, I came away wondering how we could assure that parents and app developers had access to/considered this information when making choices about apps for children. As the article mentioned, the potential effects on the achievement gap that could be achieved by increasing awareness and access to well-formed learning apps could be profound. Therefore, I wonder how to convince app developers, in particular, to consider this framework during the development stages. Could a seal of approval be used in the app store for approved educational apps? This way both parents are notified and developers are incentivized?
