We are in the middle of a project in Spanish II.
We are going to create a children's book using Explain Everything.
We wanted to have students write the text dialogue of the book in Google Docs so that it can be in a "story format". We believe this will give the students a better visual flow of how the story will develop. We will then "copy and paste" the text into Explain Everything.
Here's how:

Book Creator Exporting Options Using Google Drive
Our sixth grade teacher, Mr. Pratt, a model classroom teacher in our district will be utilizing the Book Creator app for an upcoming creative learning opportunity for his students. As always, it is important to develop/create/understand the work flow of completed project to a sharable format.
To understand the workflow I created a Stick Around App book using the Book Creator app.
On Monday, November 25, 2013, I blogged about illustrating a Book On an iPad or Online and the Book Creator App for the iPad was a choice. Since then, I haven't revisited the app.
Today, I created a book about the Stick Around App in high school Anatomy and pushed the three different types of final products to Google Drive. These final products are placed in a shared folder. Students and teachers can "open in" the file from Google Drive to iBooks or any other application. Of course, this is an app smash.
This tremendous App Smashing presentation from Miami Vice helped in the process.

PicCollage and PicPlayPost iPad App For Present Progressive Tense In Spanish
Ms. Slusarek and Mr. Vanseth created an amazing app smash with the PicCollage app and the PicPlayPost app. These teachers are doing some amazing things with iPad apps and thinking outside the traditional educational box. Students are empowering their creative minds with the integration of a technology tool!
As Ms. Slusarek states,
The directions are below.
As Ms. Slusarek states,
"Our learning objective is for the students to distinguish between the regular present tense and the present progressive verb tense.
To do this we are "app smashing" PicPlayPost and Pic Collage! We wanted to add text to our picture and video, but PPP doesn't include this feature. So we are using Pic Collage to add text to a picture and then combining the pic with text to the video and framing at PPP offers!"
The directions are below.

App Smash Options For End Of Year Projects
*All links are examples of the apps in use with different content areas.
The end of the year is upon us. AP testing dates are passing soon. Providing a valuable "Show What You Know" project can be an effective method for an end of the unit/year project. Finding the right combination of apps to "smash" together can provide choice for students as they provide you with the insight that they have.
Starting with iPads, here are some suggestions for smashing apps to create "Show What You Know" opportunities.
Pic Collage + Funny Movie Maker + iMovie
PicCollage + Thinglink + Explain Everything
Snapseed is the premier image editing app. It allows for many filters and alterations that can enhance the image. Combine multiple images into a PicCollage and add that to a Haiku Deck for presentations and a challenging, yet enriching, app smash has occurred.
As always the final products can be shared with the instructor via Google Drive.

Starting with iPads, here are some suggestions for smashing apps to create "Show What You Know" opportunities.
Pic Collage + Funny Movie Maker + iMovie
Pic Collage can be a great tool to place more than one image together to make an image. With that, Funny Movie Maker can be used to transform any image into a talking image with 30 seconds of audio. Combine those to applications into an iMovie and students can "Show What They Know" from different character perspectives. Since Funny Movie Maker is free, it does provide some advertisement. Simply "cut" that portion out while the movie is opened in iMovie.
PicCollage + Thinglink + Explain Everything
PicCollage is a great tool to place more than one image with other images. Take that image and place it into a Thinglink and all aspects of the combined images can be interactive. Taking that image and placing it in an Explain Everything through the link that Thinglink provides can allow an opportunity for an audio recording that enhances the creation.
