Assignment 1: Final App Ideas

Share your final app ideas on the Canvas discussion forum. Share your one best idea. The idea is to come up with something realistic and useful. I may have already given you feedback about which of your ideas is best or most realistic.

If you didn't turn in three final app ideas to me already in Google Docs, then you are way behind. Turn those in right away.

See the separate post and Canvas for more detailed instructions. Due Friday 4/24 at 11:59 pm.

Assignment 2: Resume in Portfolio

I am uploading a short 15-minute video that shows you how to do this properly. Check back later on Monday afternoon for the video. There is an outline of the process in a separate post. When finished, zip up your portfolio and turn the whole thing in. Due Friday 4/24 at 11:59 pm.

Look at your portfolio on the web site:
http://mobileapps1920.svctestudents.org/portfolios/

If your portfolio does not look good, think about fixing it. You don't have to do this by Friday.

Assignment 3: App Journal #7 and #9

The App Journal is posted here:
http://mobileapps1920.svctestudents.org/materials/appjournal.html

App Journal #7. Come up with new ideas how you could use one or more of these features in your app.  If your app doesn't need any of these capabilities, what other app idea might use them?

App Journal #9. Look up your app in the App Store. Find your competition. How could you make an app that is better?

There is no such thing as an app that has no competition. Even if an app doesn't do exactly the same thing as yours, you will find something similar if you look. If you don't find something on the Apple store, look on the Android store.

You can put both of these App Journal entries in one Google Doc and share it with me at mbrautigam@metroed.net. Due Friday 4/24 at 11:59 pm.
