With some gentle coaxing from "The Technician" and a "sit down let's do this" ISTE binge session with a fellow "Tech Twin" from my district, I made an app for the library. Actually, I made three apps for the library. Just saying that makes me feel like a tech-goddess (or someone with too much time on her hands...not sure which). The reality of it isn't that cosmically enchanting. Anyone - I mean ANYONE - can make an app these days thanks to some excellent web based tools. This is the part where I take all the mystery out of app making and show you I'm not really a tech-goddess (even if I feel like one saying I have an app). First, I didn't make what's called a " Native " app. A "Native app is an app that you find in the app store of your device. You have to be a genius to make those. Instead, I made an HTML5 web based app , which, for me, is essentially a device friendly website with a bunch of links on it.
