Write problem statement
I intend to create a working android application from App Inventor that I can run through my phone.

Assign Task1
My coming task will be to research through the tutorials of the Google App Inventor in order to learn the basics of how to create a working app so I can be able to make a more complex app as my final result. These tutorials includes making a picture and attaching a sound to it or changing the background by touch.

Compare actual work done to Task1
I read through many of the tutorials that the App Inventor website had to offer, though there were too many to read in just one weekend. I attempted to create one very simple app that included a picture that creates a sound when tapped. This is one of the basic apps that it shows how to create, so I will move on from there to more complex app.

Week1 Peer Review
Go to each team mates weekly summary wiki page. Read their activities and narrative. Then go the associated discussion page. Say something positive on this page. Try some constructive criticism. Add your name and a signature ~ by entering four tildes in a row to create a time and date stamp. Create a new category if another team mate has already commented here.

Assign Task2
Now that I have gone through enough of the tutorials, I will attempt to make more of my own apps varying in difficulty.

Compare actual work done to Task2
I have started to create my own basic apps starting with a simple background and button that when pressed will call a specified number. I named this app Touch to Call, and it displays the very basic of what can be done in App Inventor, and is given the steps necessary to make it possible to follow. With a good amount of luck, I was able to run the apps I made through my actual phone instead of through the given emulator. It made seeing my work much easier and in actual action than seeing it on a computer with a generic emulation.

Week2 Narrative
Upload photos to wikimedia. Upload video to youtube. Convert all spreadsheets, documents, and presentations to wiki format and create wiki subpage of your page for each of them. Link to them here in a narrative that tells a story. High light the problems (engineering problems) you had and how you solved them.

Assign Task3
I plan to create a tutorial page for our project that explains how to start up the app inventor on a computer and a phone also.

Assign Task4
I will continue to make an app of a little more difficulty. This is, most likely, intended to be the final app that I will display as the representation of the knowledge that I have gained from this project.
