Allan Gyorke on 18 Aug 11"App Inventor for Android Create apps for your phone! Creating an App Inventor app begins in your browser, where you design how the app will look. Then, like fitting together puzzle pieces, you set your app's behavior. All the while, through a live connection between your computer and your phone, your app appears on your phone."

Allan Gyorke on 18 Aug 11Video on this site shows an interface that reminds me of Authorware back in the day - drag and drop visual programming. Could be an interesting part of a student programming project or our work with Jansen. I wonder if something like this exists for the iOS.

bartmon on 19 Aug 11I had some people in my class play around with this last spring, it seems straightforward (if you own an Android phone, which limited most of my students). I showed this to the faculty running the Erie game certificate program, and they were trying to figure out a way they might expose students to it to build some games. Certainly simplifies mobile, entry-level app development.

Allan Gyorke on 19 Aug 11Thanks. Getting started on a new platform can be daunting, but an early success like this could spark interest in mobile app development.
