Additional/ Support Slides
• Ok, so AppShed is not responding - don’t worry! Instead develop your app using PowerPoint. Create a presentation of what your app would look like.
• Download an Image for a phone of your choice from Google Images and use that as your template.
• Your finished design will look just as good as those in AppShed if you use hyperlinks to move between your screens … and remember, be as creative as you can!
Plan B – break glass in case of emergency!
