25. • 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!
