Lesson 1 Introduction

Welcome to lesson 1 of the 'Apps for Good' course which will cover the rest of term3, 4, 5 and 6.  We will follow the development of a phone app from research through to development and pitching. You will  have plenty of opportunity to showcase your skills whether technical, business or artistic.  While you will all be assessed individually you will work in terms and if successful we might consider entering your ideas in a national competition.

 Learning Objectives

2.  Make sure that you write the blog address in your planner

3.  Open a Google doc called 'Apps for Good' and save it so that others can comment.  Now post the URL of this as a reply to this post.

  29. The apps that I enjoy most are: Youtube, Spotify and Shazam. This is as youtube allows you view other videos and comment or interact with other people. I like Spotify as you can stream all the music you want and it also suggests music that you would enjoy. And I like Shazam as it reads the song you're listening to if you don't know the name.
