Some personal ideas:
As app creators you should invest in quality ideas of apps of course. But you really know that Mobile learning is on the top in a lot of schools. So, don't forget the educational apps and the peadogogical quality. Play, formative feedback, identity, narrative, activity, are not only the same things that make for a good app but also a good learning environment.
It's not vital for the prize but as an educator, I would like that you think about.
Those who are innovative and creating new apps that could extend children's learning and development will be important mediators in education.
Mobiles are not only another platform but also come with a whole cool set of new interfaces and approaches in education.
"We could see little apps allowing students to operate in areas where they don’t have expertise as long as they have the technology literacy, augmenting not only knowledge but ability."
