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 if 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

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.
