Megan Kannenberg on 10 Oct 15This is a great resource for app smashing project ideas. It is geared towards teachers, but I can see some excellent ways to incorporate app smashing into my curriculum once the resources become available. I particularly like that it broke each project down into the types of apps needed and for what purpose. This makes it easier to adapt a project to fit my particular classroom or change the topic altogether and use the formula instead.

Sarah Ebener on 10 Oct 15Great resource for everything to do with app-smashing. I especially liked the "Get the Most Out of Google" section because it talked about how to beautify Google Docs. A few teachers have complained to me that they don't like how simplified Google Docs is compared to Microsoft Word, but I want to explore these ideas more to show them how it can be spiced up. Then we could easily move forward and show the kids how to beautify their Google Docs. I've found that the kids get really into picking pretty backgrounds and fonts, lol... We just got done writing our own "Declarations of Independence," and many of them wanted to decorate theirs with aged paper, calligraphy pens, etc. Thanks!

Laura H. on 11 Oct 15Katrina, Thanks for sharing this resource. This is useful to us as students right now because we are working on App Smashing, and I can see it being a useful resource to share with upper level students to inspire them to try something more complex. I also see it as a great resource for teachers because it offers quite a few good ideas of projects to use with App Smashing along with the apps that make it work. If you are a teacher new to app smashing, it is nice to start with a set idea rather than trying to invent your own project to go along with the apps you want to use. I look forward to implementing some of these ideas in my own classroom!
