School is getting very old

Yesterday I was reading about a blog post talking about the complete lack of educational apps on the Android Market.
This is totally true.
Apps Market (Android and iOs) are very big, they contain a lot of apps&games but I'm almost sure they're still expanding. They haven't reach yet their maximum capacity, there's still a lot of spaces  where to grow up.

As a good example, educational apps are really poor. There aren't good apps out there to help students digging deeper into historical wars and conquests, evolutionary timelines and so on.
At the end these data are totally public and it doesn't seem so hard to gather them in a simple and at the same time useful workflow.
Students, since the younger ages, collect data everyday with their brand new smartphones. If it could be possible to let them also collecting useful data (related to their school subjects) could lead to a very important step forward for the next generations.
People and technology are walking onwards, sometime school seem to walk backwards.
