Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas.

Please look at the

sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.

• There must be one app per step.

• Android apps can be used as long as all included apps are from the same platform.
• Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
• Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
• Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the iTunes web link
area.
• The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.
