Component Designer



Use of this App:
DifMo is going to be a tool that can be used by teachers and students to assist in the academic and physical interventions that should be differentiated in lessons and assessments.  The three tools will offer an easy use for teachers and students in three accommodation: Test taking using voice instead of writing, extended time and sharing notes from teachers to students. 
User Interact with this app:
The interface of the app is very simple. There are buttons that will guide the user through the different tools the app offers. 
What do you like about designing with Component designer: 
I really like being able to see the design of the app as it goes.  Watching each piece come together to complete the vision that I have in my head.  It also allows me to experiment with different images and designs and test them in real time. 
What do you want to do but can't do with Component designer during your design?I have been having a hard time placing buttons at the bottom of the screen rather than the top.  I'm sure there is a solution, I just have not found it yet.

The Birth of DifMo

This week I began thinking through what kind of app I want to create for my final project.

I was racking my brain, trying to think of something useful, yet creative, dreaming about the possibilities without actually having the information.

Finally I came up with an idea about differentiation.  Using an app to help in different aspects of differentiating the classroom.

So far my plan is good, but I think I can expand.  We will see what happens, but right now I am excited about the potential!

QuizApp!




This weeks app was a quiz app. I created it to be utilized in my current New Testament class.  I made a custom welcome screen as well as added a different background.  The questions came from a previous test which student should be able to answer correctly.  I could use this app as a formative assessment review in class. I really like the idea behind this app and I am excited to expand some ideas that I have about it into the future.  Overall a very enjoyable app, excited to get started on the final proposal next week!
