Thank you Mr. Badura for creating the App Smash Challenge! I love it! The more I do it, the easier it is to think of ideas. I love seeing all the great ideas and examples shared at #appsmashchallenge. What a great resource this challenge has turned out to be!
My new favorite app/tool is ThingLink, although I have been using it for two years now! Someone shared it at NETA12 and I have loved it ever since. I even used it for the presentation I had to give at my interview for my current position at ESU10. My topic was blogging in the classroom, but I used ThingLink for delivering my content. It was a hit!
Now that ThingLink is an iPad app, I have found it to be even better! It is also a hit with whomever I share it! Teachers love it! Students love it! What a great way to make an interactive image rich with multi-media content. Then kick it up a notch by creating the background image in another app! The links that you add in ThingLink could also link out to multimedia projects that you created with yet other apps! (Tellagami, Haiku Deck, ShowMe, etc!)
The possibilities are endless!
Use Pic Collage, Popplet, Word Cloud, Skitch, Story Me, etc. to create relevant images, then tag your image in ThingLink with text boxes or links to other sites or videos!

I am also sharing an appsmash that was created at one of our iPad workshops here at ESU10. Granted, these were adults, not k-12 students, but we all know that sometimes adults are tougher to get to try something new! The task was for an art teacher to pair up with a music teacher and create a project using two of the apps they learned that day. Then they used iMovie to create the finished product. Enjoy!
