App Smashing the Colonies

App Smashing by definition is a great way to get students motivated to work and learn. Throughout the year, students have done various projects and work that involved learning one app or another.  By the end of the year, we have been introduced to multiple creation apps for a variety of ways to strut our stuff.  Now students are given the choice of what they want to create to make an iMovie video to demonstrate their learning of the 13 Colonies.  App smashing is taking various apps and using those apps together to create a finished project that shows all the work from the different apps, in this case an iMovie video.  Some of our favorite were DrawingPad, iMovie, ExplainEverything, Tellagami, PicCollage, and TimelineBuilder.  Here are a couple of examples for your viewing pleasure.
