  3. Writing Android Apps (II) • Some online / software for creating Apps • Support Multiple platform. • Usually creating content based apps. • Not suitable to teach programming • e.g. http://ibuildapp.com/

  4. Writing Android Apps (III) • App Inventor http://appinventor.mit.edu • Originally developed by Google • Project transferred to MIT. • Interface is familiar • Layout design interface is similar to VB. • Programming interface is similar to Scratch

  5. Resources of AppInventor (I) • Official Site http://appinventor.mit.edu • Set up • Teach • Tutorial • Resources - Video

  6. Resources of AppInventor (II) • App Inventor EDU • A suggested high school curriculum in US • Appinventor.org • Tutorial and video of teaching AppInventor • Some source code and apk available • AppInventor TW 中文學習網

  7. Aim and Objective of teaching AppInventor • Programming is important in ICT. • Students have interests in writing apps. • Let students taste modern programming techniques e.g. call object, event etc. • Taste programming in a graphical interface.

  8. Curriculum of our school (I) • Tryout in Senior form ICT last year. • Teach in S3 this year • Students have no programming experience in junior form. • Cover 8-10 lessons in 2nd terms. • Introduce some objects and events. • Introduce basic programming concepts (up to selection)

  9. Curriculum of our school (II) • Topic 1: Introduction. • Topic 2: Properties of Basic components, simple build in blocks including simple calculation. • Topic 3: Use of variables and component Canvas.

  10. Teaching material (I) • Worksheet • Short notes • Program requirement (Program identification and analysis) • All Practical are divided into 5 steps • Log in • Design the layout (Design) • Build the program (Implementation) • Testing (Testing) • Packaging and Submission • Extension activities

  11. Teaching material (II) • More Practical Exercise in topic 2. • Written exercise of build in block (e.g. maths and relational operator etc) • Video of screen recording • Divided into parts. • Released to student in schedule. • Sources and apk file of practical.
