African Documentary

Mr. Andrew’s iPads in Education

http://youtu.be/mQ5If_ozUt0

A teacher shares a 5th grade assignment that smashes WordFoto, Phoster, and

Tellagami to teach findings about scientists.

Scientists

Karen Ogen shares a 1st grade assignment that smashes the Tellagami and iMovie apps (Karen compiled the videos using Windows Movie Maker but iMovie could achieve the same result) to teach about the sun and moon. While the backgrounds were clearly hand drawn and then captured using the iPad camera, the same activity could be recreated with students drawings using any sketching app.

Earth & Moon

Laura Chaffey’s class shares one of my favorite purposeful app-smashing projects. Her primary students composed a persuasive piece depicting why they would be a good candidate to be recruited for Mars One. The apps smashed were the camera, Google Earth, Tellagami, and iMovie.
