App Smashing Master

App Smashing is utilizing multiple apps within one lesson. Students must interact with both apps in order to complete the assignment. App Smashing goes beyond the basic level of usage and refines the output that students are capable of producing.

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?
