1. Introducing…
An ICT Homework Challenge!

2. “Mobile”
is taking
over!

3. In 2012, the UK mobile app
industry was valued at
£500,000,000
(that’s half a billion
pounds if you’re still
counting the zeros!)

4. There’s an app for that…
App Design Challenge

5. Your challenge
• EduTek, a leading educational publisher, has
asked you to develop an interactive app that will
help children learn the alphabet.
• Your line manager has asked you to produce a
design for an interactive app that contains at least
six letters of the alphabet to demonstrate how
the app will work. Your design should include
how the app will look and some way of showing
what it will do, including flow-charts.
