My Project

In my App Creator class, middle students are doing something extraordinary: they are programming their own mobile apps. This is a skill set that many students don't even get until college. I have the utmost faith in my students to rise to the occasion, however. They work so hard to learn really difficult coding concepts and then apply their knowledge to build, from the ground up, their own fully functional mobile app.

Computer Science skills are not a luxury or a non-necessity for today's learner.

They make a well-rounded students, as well as an informed and responsible digital citizen in our global society. An important part of using computer science skills is applying them to solve problems. The apps my students are building are very much tailored to solving real world problems. However, their ability to test their apps is limited by our available technology. As of right now, we use a chromebook emulator that makes the apps difficult to test. It's glitchy, laggy, and often does not work all together. In addition, certain features (e.g. accelerometer, touch screen) cannot be used with the chromebooks.

These tablets would make our apps COME TO LIFE and allow students the opportunity to play, test, and ENJOY the fruits of their labor! Please help us make this happen!
