Creating apps in the classroom

Classroom ICT CPD
Computing teacher Genevieve Smith-Nunes will be hosting a seminar at Bett 2013 looking at developing apps with your students using a versatile free web resource.

What is Appshed? Apart from being a fantastic, and free, mobile app development platform, it is an amazing learning and creative tool for the classroom.

I cannot praise enough the platform nor the support that I, and many other teachers, have received from the Appshed team. Especially when I have my crazy ideas – “can I just do this…” – generally something that requires a server farm or at least four developers a month to build. I am always met with a convivial “yes, it’s possible”.

A bit of history: AppShed began back in 2008 as a business need and they soon decided to build a content management system for apps instead of building each app from scratch.
