I started my journey of switching careers from a math educator of 16 years over to becoming a technology trainer focused on Power BI. A few months in, I was given the opportunity to also learn how to train clients on Power Apps. The first thing I thought was, “What in the world is a Power App? Is that like an app on my iPhone?” How in the heck was I going to learn how to code and make an app? Well, thanks to the company I work for I had so many resources to learn from and hit the ground running. I’m a month or so into learning the basics and some more advanced functions of making a Power App. After learning some of the basics of what a Power App can do, I immediately thought, “Gosh, I wish I knew this before now!” This revolutionary program would solve a critical hurdle at my former school. We had the problem of not being able to locate a student during lunch. Wait…. that didn’t sound right! I swear...
