1.  Feedback, grades, and 4th quarter

Thanks for your feedback about what you learned 3rd quarter and what you would like to work on.

During 4th quarter there will be time for you to work on projects of your own interest before the seniors leave at the end of May.

I will go over your 3rd quarter grades with you the Monday after vacation.

2.  App Inventor

If you’re just starting App Inventor today you will begin with the Hello Purr tutorial in which you make an Android app that has a photo of a cat that, when tapped, makes a meow sound.  You can work on your own or with a partner.

a.  Go here and click create at the top right

b.  Sign in with your Google account (if you don’t have one, let me know)

c.  Follow this tutorial

d.  When you finish, test your app on the Android tablet you have at your table

e.  Change up the app by adding a new image and a new sound (you can find tons of free sound files here)

If you already did Hello Purr and modified it, you will pick a tutorial from this list to create another app.  You can work on your own or with a partner.  When you’re done, check out how your app works on the Android tablet or phone.
