Mobile App
Development Background
The scheme of work was developed in order to help implement the
Digital Competence Framework. It gave learners an engaging and
relevant activity whilst developing enterprising skills.
The Scheme empowers pupils to make decisions on how they combine
different media packages.
Pupils are able to produce a product which is of a high professional
standard and the app they create can be transferred straight onto their
Digital Competence mobile device without incurring any cost to the school or pupil.
