  • Project Planning Forms

Project Planning Forms allow students to "map out" a project's content, design, and layout on paper first. Guiding questions help students brainstorm aspects of a project, while design areas allow them to begin sketching the project before designing on a computer.

  • Student Sample Documents

A sample mobile app entrepreneur's documents accompany each project and are designed to provide students with inspiration and guidance as they complete projects tailored to their own mobile app business. The Student Sample Documents can also be used as a guide for assessing student work.

  • Project Grading Rubrics

Grading Rubrics for each project have been provided and should be used to grade students’ completed work. It is recommended that you share these grading rubrics with your students prior to them beginning each project to emphasize the important components and required elements of successfully completed work.

  • Lesson Plan PowerPoint Teaching Tools

To assist in presenting the skills and concepts of each project to students, Lesson Plan PowerPoint Teaching Tools are provided. These slides offer details about the business concepts behind each project and how each document can be used in a real professional setting, as well as complete presentation notes that function as a detailed narrative for introducing key concepts and skills to your students. It is recommended that you present these slide shows to students before beginning each project.
