PROTOTYPING OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS OF ANDROID IN ENVIRONMENT OF MIT APP INVENTOR AS MEANS ARE INTRODUCTION TO BASES OF PROGRAMMING ON THE LESSONS OF INFORMATICS OF STUDENTS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL

Abstract

In the article the instrument of mobile development of MIT App Inventor, as means of educating of elements of programming of students of high school, is presented on the lessons of computer science. The technological, methodical and vocational orientation aspects of the use of environment of planning of mobile appendixes of MIT are presented. App Inventor’s intuitive programming metaphor and incremental development capabilities allow the developer to focus on the logic for programming an app rather than the syntax of the coding language, fostering digital literacy for all. Since it was moved from Google to MIT, a number of improvements have been added, and research projects are underway. A requirement in new teaching methods that facilitate and accelerate the transmission of knowledge strengthens the process of assimilation of knowledge. Such methods of study can come true through the use of information technology in education. A main problem is a necessity to develop methods and resources for support and educating in schools, using mobile technology. Using new economic feasibilities, a student creatively goes near implementation of tasks, thus explaining to realization of self-development.
