Complete the Unit 3 Preview
Place today's date in the top right corner, then answer this question:
What is a common app that you use?
Take a minute to sketch the User Interface of the main screen.
Note how the user interacts with the app.
You will be introduced to DESIGN MODE in the App Lab by thinking through the needs that an app may have in order to work properly. It is helpful to discuss your finding with your table mates in the event that you find something that they overlooked. This is a team effort in learning.
Work through the bubble levels as indicated
What elements collect input?
What elements display output?
Do you think there are elements that can do both?
Complete the Check for Understanding (bubble 8)
If time: Challenge #1 (Slide 8 in today's presentation.)
Students work through a progression of levels to build an understanding of how to use Design Mode to layout an app. The final level has students setting up the screen of an app by attempting to copy an image of an app.
This lesson introduces students to Design Mode in App Lab and the different kinds of screen elements and properties at their disposal in this tool. This lesson not only builds up skills in designing a user interface but also sets students up to begin designing an app of their own in the following lesson.
AP - Algorithms & Programming
3A-AP-16 - Design and iteratively develop computational artifacts for practical intent, personal expression, or to address a societal issue by using events to initiate instructions.
