2.) Tweet standards or Essential Questions-allow students to tweet what they did from a class account. They have to summarize what went on in a 140 characters.

IS THERE REALLY AN APP FOR THAT?

Student Created App Project

App Inventor- a do-it-yourself mobile app creation tool that lets anyone build their own Android applications without needing to know how to program or even write a line of code. Instead, using an online interface, would-be developers visually design the app's interface and interactions, using drag-and-drop blocks that specify what the app should look like and how it should behave.www.shoutem.com
