When you find what you are looking for: download

The downloaded content will appear in your Android Market Library.

Open your Library to find your latest downloads.

Click READ to view your digital content. The great thing about the Google/Android Book Market is that you can read the content from your computer. You do not have to have a different device such as the Droid Phone or Android Tablet.

Once, you click “read”, you will be prompted to read from your computer, the web, or your google device.

In the Android Market, click the Apps tab.

Find the category you are looking for (EDUCATION).

You can then search and install apps from either the paid tab or the free tab. There are lots of free tools that you can use in your classroom.

NOTE: You must have an Android tablet or Droid phone to install the apps. It will require that you register your device just as the iStore does for Apple products. If you do not own one of these devices, you will get the message to the left.
