The potential for using various apps to improve student learning is tremendous. Yet, despite the iPad's possibilities, apps are often limited in their functionality. No one has created that magical, one-size-fits-all app that accomplishes all of the tasks that you had in mind. Luckily, there is an answer to this common problem: app smashing. According to Greg Kulowiec of The History 2.0 Classroom blog, app smashing is "the process of using multiple apps in conjunction with one another to complete a final task or project." For example, a student could begin a project by editing images in an app, such as Skitch, and then add these images to a video creation app, such as iMovie, to produce a product that truly identifies her learning. In this article middle school library media technology specialist, Donna Young describes the steps of app smashing and highlights her favorite first- and second-level apps to use with her students in app smashing projects.
