HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today you will sign in and learn and answer questions about various apps!!
Lets get started:
ASSIGNMENT: Designing an App...Part 1 continued
Due: February 9 :: 10 Points!
For this assignment, you will need an App Topic form 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.
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
This example is an APP with 3 screens. Note that each page has a HOME button to go back

REVIEW
Use the images you found!
In your App Photos Folder on your desktop!
SEARCH FOR IMAGES
Now SEARCH online (Google or Bing) to find images to use for your app!
Once you find an image, right click on it and SAVE IMAGE AS to the APP PHOTOS folder on your desktop or on One Drive!
(Hint: you created this folder in Lesson 2 named the folder App Photos...when we found an image of a Cat)
TIPS:
Remember to be specific! Finding what you want takes time.
Look for clear/clean images.
File types... .jpg or .gif or .png work best!
Remember that they MUST be relevant to your app!
Find at least ONE different image per screen (minimum 3 screens but try to find 10!)
Note: The Home Screen will probably have more images!
FIND 10 IMAGES!
Download at least 10 images
SELECT IMAGES on the top left
Really want an image but its not the right file type?
Simple...Use the SNIPPING TOOL!
Using that same Magnifying Glass Search tool...Type "Snipping"
The SNIPPING TOOL should show up!
- Click NEW
DO NOT try to download Snip & Sketch
Your screen should fade
Left click and pull you mouse over the image you want to "snip"
Then click the SAVE icon to save the image to your App Photos folder...remember to name the file!
NOW find 10 images that you want to use for your app (School appropriate please!)
Show me your folder when you are done finding 10 images (jpg, gif or png files)
Things you MUST have in your APP:
Minimum of 3 screens (you can have more!)
At least ONE different image per screen
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
Review
Part 1
Survey your classmates!
Leave your paper and pencil on your desk
Stand up and take your back pack off!
Move to the next computer and read what the topics are and are about
Get feedback by the topic:
If you are interested in learning more place a CHECK MARK (see image above)
What was the app your classmates liked the best?
Is it something you think you can make?
Would you choose a different topic than the one your classmates liked?
Based on your research you identified requirements for what your app must teach your classmates.
Tonight...
Think about your app! What do you want it to do? What would you change based on what you have seen today?
