  • Identify the target audience for your app (i.e., who you would want to buy/download it).
  • Discuss key developmental markers or characteristics for that age group (include textbook citations).
  • Discuss the key developmental period or elements that this app will address, using citations from your textbook to support the need for your app.

Replies: For your replies, identify additional elements that could be added to a classmate’s app to address the developmental period it is designed for. Remember to respond to two different classmates’ apps. Use citations from the textbook to support your additions to another classmate’s app.
