The mobile app developers' section working to provide apps for kids less than 16 years of age is certainly blooming. This is because of the increasing number of children getting addicted to smart phones and mobile apps. These kids are using these apps for a variety of purposes ranging from games, social networking to various educational intentions. Moreover, parents and teachers are also increasingly allowing their kids to get familiar with this technology and use it for entertainment as well as education. The number of American parents has advocated the use of iPads and iPhones by the kids by handing them one such device. The condition is so sombre that a potty-chair manufacturing company in the US has now come up with a new potty chair with iPad holder. The intention is to entertain them even in the bathrooms.

The future of educational mobile apps looks very bright, as educational institutions from across the US are busy introducing iPads in their educational culture or planning to do so. No doubt, this will augment the need for more educational mobile apps. IPads have proven themselves as the most effective tool when it comes to educating kids with alternative lifestyle, autism and learning disabilities. The features enclosed in the iPads are emerging as the perfect teaching tool for students that face the problem with contemporary learning methodologies. Moreover, this device from Apple also serves as a mode of communication for kids with several physical and mental ailments very successfully.

As interest of modern-day kids continue to rise in mobile apps, they are now equally curious to know how they work and how they are made. This was traced recently in Denver, Colorado, where kids aged 9-14 showed their interest in developing educational apps during their spring breaks. Recently an article in the NY based newspaper stated about the importance of educational apps for kids. This article referred many apps as an example.

In another incident, I saw at my friend's place that his kid was tapping the screen of a digital photo frame to make it function thinking it to be a tablet. This showed that my friend must have allowed him to use tablet before and so much that now he assumes every rectangle glowing screen device as a tablet. It was then, that I felt a modern day kid's urge to interact with the technology hands-on in a multi-sensory environment. They want technology to generate sound, music, touch, visuals, extra effects and everything to come together while they experience it to enrich their brains and minds. Educational institutions and companies engaged in developing educational apps should take advantage of this shifting paradigm, acquire and develop mobile apps that entice parents along with their kids.

In this situation, will future see educational institutions and educational app developing companies hire kids as mobile app consultants and seek their advice on how apps should look like. Well not really but, yes, they will look to engage them by utilizing contemporary market survey techniques and tools like surveys and product testing for a certain age group. There are further chances that employees of app development companies would take their project to their homes and ask their kids to test it and finding out more ways of making an educational app even better.

Seeing the current trend, it can be said without a doubt that the sector of education mobile apps is moving towards becoming one of the most promising sectors. Educational institutions would increase their demand for more creative and interactive apps as their students continue to learn everything about apps.
