We will be compiling all of the resources and books you shared in the chat and sharing them on this blog next week. Read on for a complete archive of the chat.

AppSmash Your Class
Whether you’ve been curious about AppSmashing or you’ve never heard the words ‘app’ and ‘smash’ used in the same sentence, it’s sure that AppSmashing is a fun way for students to learn and present content.
What’s an app smash, you ask? An app smash is when multiple apps are used to create a finished project. Your students might already be AppSmashing and not even know it! The most important app is already on your device – the ‘Photos’ app or camera roll is where you save each piece of the smash. Then, put them all together using a different app (like iMovie or ThingLink).

Hope you’ll have a smash!
