So, what is app-smashing, you are wondering? Well, it’s as simple, and as complicated as you’d like it to be. In its basics, it is using two apps at once. A student might draw a diagram using a image making app like PicCollage and then insert that diagram into a Tellagami or another app that allows them to explain the diagram. Lost? Come join us and hear Caroline explain it and see the products her 2nd graders have made. Don’t have access to iPads at your school? Get inspired to see how they can be used as learning tools or how these same lessons can be used with Web 2.0 tools. Have experience with app-smashing? Please join us to share your expertise, tips, ideas and advice.
