Editor's Notes
- #8: App smashing is the simple process by which you create an image, a video, text combination in one app, then "smash" it into another app. This allows you to overlay elements, add video/audio content easily. For example, take a photo of student work. Put that photo into 30HandsLearning slideshow, add audio recording of student discussing that photo. Repeat that process for a small group of students. Save that audio-narrated slideshow of photos of student work as a video into your iPad's Camera Roll. Import that video into iMovie, Explain Everything, Touchcast and then stitch several group projects together...voila! App smashing.
- #12: 1. When you're app smashing, begin with the end in mind. What do you want to see at the end of the process? Then, backtrack from there. What apps will you have to "run" your idea through to get the result you want? 2. Make a list of the apps you'll need to get your app smashing done. 3. Create a flowchart or outline of what apps you'll be smashing. 4. Publishing, or sharing your product, is one of the most difficult aspects. It's difficult because you have to know where you can publish your work to so that it will be most accessible for your audience. For smaller sized videos, YouTube, Dropbox, Box.net are solid choices. For ebooks (ePub), Dropbox and/or GoogleDrive are your next best choices. For images, anywhere will do.
