I completed the planning for my app.

Since I have not been able to access the banjo server, as noted in the other
lab, I will create this app using the tools I can study in the code from the Riddles Server
lab and other labs throughout the units!

I know I have said the following before, but I wanted to earnestly express my
determination to complete this course in a positive way and take advantage of this
awesome opporunity!

I would still love the chance to complete the lab, even if it is not for the
course, so I can still experience it in its entirety! If this impacts my grade in
a drastic way I would love the opportunity to either complete it for partial credit
later, or possibly do additional work to demonstrate my understanding of the servers and the process.

I am a bit concerned that my inability to access this server will impact my ability to pass this course,
and I have already learned so much that if there is a possibility I may not pass the
course I would love the chance to demonstrate my proficiency of the
material.  I really appreciate the support and I know that communication has been tough with this being an independent
study, but I just want to be successful and I am dedicated to the process and
very grateful for it!

 ## 1. Who will use your app? (Who is your app's target user?)
 
-
+This app will be at its core a random name generator, however it will be used for teachers in order to cold call students. Teachers would use this app. They would input their rosters and use the random generator to help choose students to cold call. At first this app will not support multiple users, as only one teacher’s roser will be inputted at first, but could eventually be expanded to have more than one user. 
 
 ## 2. What need or problem will your app solve? How do you know this is really a need for your target user? How does the target user currently deal with the problem?
 
+There are two main goals for the app: 
+Hold a library of student names 
+Randomly choose a name for cold calling 
+
+If those goals are met, this goals for the app could be extended to the following: 
+Make notes or give a grade for the student’s answer to track their performance for the day.
+
+I am creating this app for myself for now, but depending on how it works, it would be a good tool for teachers to be able to customize and use in their own classrooms. The alternative to this app is to use an analog method of pulling and documenting the names and answers like grading sheets and popsicle sticks with names on them. However, this app could be linked, overtime, to gradebooks and data collecting platforms that schools use to update grades and analyze data in real time.

 ## 3. How will your app's design meet the need you have identified?
 
+-To collect names I will input a student roster. 
+-Student names will be randomly selected from the list. 
+-Eventually, a notes section or grading element could be added to the final product. 
 
 
 ## 4. How could your app possibly cause harm? (For example, could someone get hurt if data leaked or if someone used the app inappropriately?) What steps will you take to ensure that nobody is harmed by your app?
 
-
+This could be harmful because student education data and names are confidential. Students have the right to have their information protected. Which is why initially, the app will be only the name generator. Then as the app progresses, it can become more of an assessment tool. This could also be combated by putting students into table groups with names. For example if you have 20 students, they can be in 5 table groups of 4 in the classroom. Each group would be named and notes could be taken on the group in the app, but under the code name. This would protect a student’s right to privacy, but also help teacher’s formatively assess students in real time.
