Are you App Smashing yet? We often hear "there's an app for that." Yes, but there is not one app that does everything. Come learn about the power of combining apps as well as explore a variety of apps that can be used to create smashed projects. In this hands-on session, participants will leave knowing how to smash apps in order to increase student retention of learning. Note: Participants will need to bring an iPad so they can app smash.

15. Earth & Moon
Karen Ogen shares a 1st grade assignment that smashes the Tellagami and iMovie apps (Karen compiled the videos using Windows Movie Maker but iMovie could achieve the same result) to teach about the sun and moon. While the backgrounds were clearly hand drawn and then captured using the iPad camera, the same activity could be recreated with students drawings using any sketching app.

16. Mars
Laura Chaffey’s class shares one of my favorite purposeful app-smashing projects. Her primary students composed a persuasive piece depicting why they would be a good candidate to be recruited for Mars One. The apps smashed were the camera, Google Earth, Tellagami, and iMovie.
