Google has launched what we are told is "an easier way for educators to find enriching and district-compliant tools through what it's calling the App Hub." The website used Google Certified Educators (or other partners) to suggest lesson ideas (eg. A Personal Hero's Journey); these in turn link to the relevant applications (for example, ClassCraft). You can't determine from the site what it would cost (which strikes me as a significant weakness). It would be nice if a site like this would link to free and open source apps, but I didn't see any (which I guess tells us how the site defines 'quality').
