Anyone can do it. Especially students! This is where tech meets innovation, creativity, and real world skills where students can utilize for their careers and further education. Take one app, then choose another, use both end products together to create an even better project!

Why even bother with app smashing?
Differentiation? Check!
Scaffolding? Check!
Different learning styles? Check!
Different interests? Check
Instead of forcing children in a lecture like setting to use just one boring app or tech tool that only a handful of students understand, you can allow students the freedom they need to grow in making decisions based on their needs and levels to create projects they are proud of including every single student in your class! Everyone wins, and you are not stuck looking at a million of the same static end project.

Everything you learned 2.0
As an educator we all had to learn about Bloom's Taxonomy, but now you can apply Bloom's Wheel with app smashing to hit on all of the different areas! It doesn't get more educational than that, plus tech tools are super fun, and there are a variety in every area that still allows for student differentiation, scaffolding, and learning styles!

Have QRs will travel...

Just used a QR code and code reader for my students to escape the library with BreakoutEDU! QR codes are not dead, and in fact super fun for students to track clues and not waste space with sticking them up all over the library or classroom!

Ahoy! My fellow pirates, while the weather outside might be below Zero! I am sailing the cold seas to bring you a great Tech Like a Pirate using my favorite App, Stick Around and teaches students about App Smashing. It's pretty simple.

1. Set up some random HTML to select several subject areas you teaching in a unit. Create QR Codes with them and put them together on a large wall map like shown above. Make sure you include an App above each of the QR Codes.

2. Next, when your students scan the QR Code they are taken to a website or given a picture that they must made a Stick Around Puzzle about. However, they have to use the App that is shown above with the Stick Around Puzzle. An example would be using Thinglink and Stick Around. The student scans their QR Code and is taken to a profile page about the Chinstrap Penguin. Students then make a Thinglink that talks about our favorite southern penguin and its habitat and then puts a direct link to a Stick Around Puzzle they have created that can be download and solved.

There are many ways to use this type of Tech like a Pirate Treasure Map. Give it a try today and find the path to learning treasures. Arr!

If you have BreakoutEDU you can app smash with it! BreakoutEDU is like an escape room, that can be done literally anywhere. It comes with its own supplies and endless games in which students work together to follow clues to unlock real locks in order to get into the box and escape that situation. Even better students can use breakoutEDU with tech to create an even more enriching experience. QR codes and code readers, tablets, smart phones, laptops, even desktops! The sky is the limit, have your students approach the escape as if they need to use flipgrid journals like travel logs, or even create an iMovie commercial about the breakoutEDU experience for the next class! Endless incredible possibilities.
