App Smashing, a term coined by Greg Kulowiec (@gregkulowiec on Twitter), is the process of using multiple apps to create projects or complete tasks. By App Smashing, it can provide both you and your students with the creative means of demonstrating and showcasing their learning and understanding.
A great example for teachers is creating a screencast of a Google Slides presentation while recording your narration to produce a movie. You can earn both this badge and the Screencasting Level 1 badge, too!

App Smashing Examples
App Smashing Examples
The most simple means of app smashing typically involves creating an image, either through drawing or taking of pictures, and then importing those images into another app or site to create a NEW product.
Camera - Chatterpix Kids - iMovie
In this example, pictures of individual students were taken and then imported into Chatterpix Kids. Each individual video created from that app was then brought into iMove to create one video.
