This week Ben and I continued to play around with the app and tried to make it better. Also we researched on how to give a good presentation. We watched some TED videos to see what they did that made their presentation good. One of the videos we watched was "To This Day", which is the one we watched in class. We began to think about how we're going to give our presentation and what will be in the presentation.

Steven and i took a different path on the app, the home run derby app was to hard, so... We decided to make an app on keeping the baseball in the air. it is working out really good and the site we used was another of Mr. Speice's and its going good. I watched ted talks and wanted to try and start on thinking about our speech. we will continue looking at ted talks and start actually writing the speech.

the site we are using is www.touchdevelope.com


Mr. Odinga I know you want us to do great and be ready for this speech. but i will speak out for everyone and say that we do want to give the presentation but when you are talking about inviting all those people everybody is freaking our and not liking the whole idea. i mean im fine with it but just letting you know that.

Thanks

The first site Mr. Speice gave us wasn't the right site that was a site for info but he gave us a new site and we are gonna try it today. We are having some troubles right now with the site and we are gonna ask for some more help from Mr. Speice. we will email him today and start talking to him next week. We are making progress and have started thinking about our Speech and how it is going to go. we started to look up on Google on motivational speeches.

Steven and I have emailed mr. Spiece and have gotten information back we are using the website he sent us which is called http://mobile.conduit.com/Home.aspx?srl=1006140&keyword=conduit%20mobile&ad_type=brand01&cam=365&gclid=CPmi4dvg1boCFY0-MgodtH0A7A

 we have finally created the cover page officially done. but we are not sure if we like the website we used to create it and are also not sure how to turn it into a game. we are going to ask Mr. Spiece sometime next week and see if he can help us.

This week we emailed Mr. Speice and tried to continue to make the app. Right now we are stuck until we hear back from Mr. Speice.

This week Ben and I tried to add music to the app, the only problem was we couldn't figure out how to do it. We want to put the song Take Me Out To The Ballgame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qscED3psy_U. Also we tied to make more pages in the app but couldn't figure it out. We don't know how to turn the app into a game. We are still using  http://www.iappthat.com/iatNav.php?aid=HOME%20RUN to create the app. Next week we are planning on talking with Mr. Speice to see if he can help us out.

This week we have continued on the app creator site we are not sure how to send a picture of the cover but the title of the app is Home Run Slam. The cover of our app is created and we have started to make more pages in the app. The first page of the app will have the settings, options, and any other information our app will need. Also we are planning on adding music to the app.

How Steven and I spent our 20 % time today was we went on a website that shows us how to start to design an app and get us looking at how it is going to work and what is going to look like when we start to create the app.the website we looked up is WWW.iappthat.com/iatCover.php?ac=new  

we started to design the app and have the screen design and title

What we have done today is looked up how to create an app and start to think about designing the app. We have also looked at lots of videos during the day.

9/29/13- This week we started to research how apps are made. We found that making an android app is different than making an iphone app. Also we found that the first step is to come up with rough sketches of all the views(pages) in the app.We need to include the features, instructions, and information about the app, in the app for people to see. Another thing we found was that there is more than one way to make an iphone app, you can use template elements, photoshop mockups, and in Xcode. We found out that Mr.Spiece has made an app before, and that he would be a person to go to if we need help. We watched a video on how to create an app.

We watched a video on how to create an app.

9/20/13 - This past week Ben and I have decided that we are going to make a home run derby app for peoples phone. We haven't started to do any research about how to design an app. To make our goal happen we are going to decided what we each need to do every week and make sure it gets done. Also we need to figure out a plan of what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and what each of us is doing.

20% Time Project

Our 20% time project is to create a home run derby app for your phone. We thought that it would be a cool and interesting thing to do. We are doing this because we both have an interest in baseball. We wanted to do something that other people could use. We are going to work at our goal by learning about how apps are designed and to get our app out to other people.
