2.7 I Have a Dream Projects Curriculum Page

Portfolio Reflection Questions:

1. In this lesson, you created your own sound board app. Give a brief description of it here. Describe its theme, if it has one, and what particular sounds (music or speeches) it plays. Click on Add Files at the bottom of the page to attach your video (or if you uploaded your video to youtube, use insert/youtube from the option above to embed your video in your portfolio page).
   • My soundboard project is called "Animal Sounds" because of the animal theme of my app. The user interface of my app includes buttons in a horizontal layout that are images of a rooster, cow, dog, and cat. In addition, there are labels to direct the user to click the images to hear the sounds each animal makes. Each player that corresponds with an animal sound is programmed, with the if/else blocks, to play when a user clicks on the image of an animal.
2. Describe how you designed your app's UI. What components does it use?
   • The design of my UI includes four buttons, which are images of a dog, rooster, cat, and cow. When the images are clicked, a player corresponds with each animal and plays the sound they make. There are also four labels each directing the user to click on the designated button to hear the sound.
3. Now that you've had some experience building apps in App Inventor, what do you think about programming. Is it a creative activity? In what ways does it allow you to express yourself?
   • I think that programming is very creative because it enables you to design a multitude of computational artifacts in a variety of ways. In addition, what someone creates reflects their opinions on certain matters and shows what they care about.
