Lessons have been assigned to them based on their diagnostic test results both in Math and Reading. Within each lesson are brain break games. The district is pushing a goal of 45 minutes per week on Online Lessons in ELA and 45 minutes per week in Math to close the gaps found in the diagnostic. Math and ELA are providing some of that time during the week, but not all.

CODE.ORG: Designing an App

No need to sign in to code.org today!

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: App Development...Planning!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Why is it important to plan out the design of an app? Planning can save time so the developers don't spend time designing faulty user interfaces. Planning can help the developers talk through and test out ideas with the users of the app.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Students brainstorm app ideas and sketch out user interfaces in preparation for the next lesson where they will return to App Lab.

ASSIGNMENT: Designing an App...Part 1 continued

Due: January 23 :: 10 Points!

For this assignment, you will need a App Topics paper and a pencil!

Now, you will create an app that teaches your classmates about any topic you find interesting. Along the way you’ll learn how to use many of the features of App Lab as well as skills that will help you when building more apps throughout this class.

For topics, think of things you can compare or choose one or the other (remember the choose Left or Right?) or instructions for a game etc.

Example: Takis vs Hot Cheetos (Do NOT use this example!)

NOW...

Create a Program Specification

Based on your research you identified requirements for what your app must teach your classmates.

Using the paper given to you (with the 3 boxes drawn on it)...

You should draw a specification that shows how your app will actually run to meet those requirements. This means you should include all the buttons, text, and images that the user will be able to use.

Write notes or draw arrows (content mapping) showing how different user interface elements should work. For example, if clicking a button takes me to another screen, I should draw an arrow from that button to the drawing of the screen. (see below)

Things you MUST have in your APP:

Minimum of 3 screens (you can have more!)
Remember a title and instructions for your app (Home screen)
Includes images, audio and text on EACH screen
A clear and easy to navigate user interface (the user of your app will know what to do easily)
Clearly communicates information about YOUR topic

You will need to fill out the following form with questions about your app!

Once completed, click SUBMIT on the form

THE FORM IS WORTH 10 POINTS (Total)

NOTE: IDK is NOT an answer!

EXAMPLE...

Take a look at the prototype below.

As you draw your app, think of the buttons the user will click and what the output will be
