Introduction to App Development

Standard	Description	Reason
1A-CS-01	Select and operate appropriate software to perform a variety of tasks.	The document introduces using specific software tools (e.g., Figma) for app development tasks, aligning with selecting and operating software for different tasks.
1A-CS-03	Describe basic hardware and software problems using accurate terminology.	Sections on app development processes likely include troubleshooting software issues, emphasizing accurate terminology to describe problems.
1A-AP-10	Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem.	Implicit teaching about creating sequences (app development steps) and loops (design and testing phases), correlating with programming structures to solve problems.
1A-DA-05	Store, copy, search, retrieve, modify, and delete information using a computing device.	App development involves data manipulation, such as user input and app content, aligning with data management skills emphasized in this standard.
1A-NI-04	Explain what passwords are and why we use them, and use strong passwords to protect devices and information.	Security, a crucial aspect of app development covered in the document, includes understanding the role of passwords and secure access.
