This past summer I started a new job as the Network and Communication Specialist for my school district. One of the first things I wanted to do in my new role was facilitate better communication with our school district and community. The first thing that popped into my head was creating an app.I started doing some research in the Spring of 2011 on how I wanted to create this app.Six months later I am sitting here and we have released the app for our district! The process was filled with quite a bit of research, testing and fun, but seeing the final product is something I’m proud of for our ISD. The product is not perfect, but as you’ll see in the next few paragraphs you have to be flexible when making your final decision.Below I’ll explain some of the different options I researched and share with you the good and the bad.
