Reflection

Before this assignment, I had never heard the term app-smashing. After digging deeper into the assignment, I realized that this is actually something that I, and probably many more teachers, do on a regular basis. We just didn't know that there was a term for it! Once I figured out that app-smashing wasn't actually a new concept to me, I decided to venture into new apps. I decided to try Thinglink and I'm so glad that I did! I really enjoyed using this app and am hoping to be able to bring it into my school!
