This document discusses the rise of mobile apps and their impact on education. It proposes the development of a homework app called "Rushyl HW App" that would allow students to access homework assignments, parents to view assignments and updates, and the school to disseminate information in near real-time. The app is presented as benefiting students, parents, and the school by streamlining the homework process and increasing access and communication. Technical specifications and mockups of the app interface are provided. The app is framed as an opportunity for the school to be innovative with technology and gain recognition.
