Apps for Good  – if you are looking for a scheme by which your learners can be creative in developing apps for mobile devices which have a real world application, then Apps for Good would be worth a look. Apps for Good provides a curriculum-mapped programme of activities with supporting resources to help engage pupils in seeing a need for an app which can make a difference, through using resources to create an app to address this need, to developing marketing skills.
