9.5 group 5 apps for good competition entry 2015
TRANSCRIPT
We are developing a social media app
to specifically help students address issues
within the school and discuss these problems
between each other, securely with a students
communication app.
The app is aimed at students who want to improve the
school’s environment by providing suggestions and
voicing issues within the school and its community. This
app would make the process of raising concerns and
issues simple and hassle-free, without the risk of your
privacy being taken away.
Situations our app could solve
Students voice:
• Students who face issues such
as not knowing what the
homework set was or when a
piece is due.
• Students may want to raise issues
and suggestions for school.
[Question]
Student’s voice:
How can students raise their concerns
and suggestion effectively and
securely?
How can students clear
misunderstandings and worries without
arguing and making the situation
worsen?
The Problem our App will solve
Student Voice:
Nothing usually happens in Student Council meetings at school and they usually end in arguments and no
progress being made in the subject. Student Voice can effectively and safely address and solve multiple
problems in one useful application
Social media apps like our apps such as
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have
some issues that our app will fix.
These apps have many cases of privacy
being exposed and breached. You can
also receive messages and followers
from people you do not know.
This app will not be very complex to make, because it will only have
to link back to one online database.
Furthermore this database will not need any information preloaded
into it. All of the data, forum comments and login details, will be
entered
after the app has been launched.
This app will have to come with a website which will host the
database and where it will be possible to create accounts for
students (a function not possible in the app for security reasons).
We would like to integrate into this website a function which would
allow head teachers or other administrators to link their own student
databases to ours.
