Next up Please pass your textbook worksheet to your row captain
Think: What is an app? What do they do? What is their function? Why do we have them?
3
European exploration Explorers from Europe set sail for the Americas in the 1400s Started an “Age of Exploration” & changed the world forever
4
European exploration Refresh: Why did Europe set sail & not Africa, Asia, or the Americas? (Think back to Jared Diamond) geographic advantages [domesticated plants and animals, east/west climate, and Silk Road trading] Is there more to the story than that?
5
Killer Apps Some historians argue that there is more to the story than just geographic luck Today we are going to examine the 6 “killer applications” that made Europe prime for exploring Competition Ideology Science Tactics Innovation Pluralism
6
Killer Apps In groups you will be working to create an App Store page for your “killer app” You need to design a logo Include all the important information about your app: Why is _________ important to being able to go exploring? Think of it as selling the application – if a society was looking to purchase an item that could help them advance, why would they purchase yours? Your group will be presenting your app to the class first thing tomorrow
