Google is debuting a special category for education-related software in its Apps Marketplace, prompted by what it considers the success of its Apps for Education collaboration and communication suite. At launch, the education section of the Apps Marketplace will feature about 20 Web applications, including classroom managers, gradebooks and learning aides.
