Introduction
This 101-level module guides an educator in using Power Apps in their classrooms. With Power Apps, educators create custom apps that help them juggle duties while making sure that student learning is differentiated and personalized. In this module, educators learn about apps that help them save time and create administrative efficiencies. Educators learn about apps that student increase productivity, engagement, and creativity in the classroom.
This module takes the approach that the best way to get started with Power Apps is to jump right in and create an app. Educators develop a basic understanding of the overall creation process using a template and an Excel spreadsheet table that has been prepopulated with simulated data. In this way, the process of making a first Power App is streamlined and concise, and the reward of creating an app without coding or programming experience is almost magical.
