Good example apps


As early assignments, you will find example apps, then tell the class about what you find. In each case, you should briefly post what you find on this blog, then in 5 minutes or less, present what you find to the class. Below we define good examples, posts and presentations:
  • Example apps
    • Definition: these are apps on any mobile, tablet or wearable device
    • Should be displayable before the entire class if necessary, i.e.:
      • You can show online information about them using a browser, 
      • Or you can use the overhead projector to show it running on your phone
    • Need not be something no other class members have selected, though uniqueness will be rewarded
  • Posting them
    • How:
      • To forum
      • Tag it with #examples.
      • Only a few paragraphs are necessary
      • Include one image
      • Include a link to the example itself, in an app store 
      • If others have already chosen your example, focus on new information
    • What:
      • A tagline: summarize the app in one sentence
      • The problem the app addresses
      • Why you like or hate this app
      • Competing apps, and why this app is better or worse
      • A little bit about how this app works
