There are myriad iPad apps that are amazing for digital storytelling, but you don't have to stop with just one. Layering apps (a.k.a., app smashing) allows students and teachers to using multiple apps to create a project. During this session, participants will see examples of student-created videos and watch a demonstration of app layering. Educators will take away a variety of workflows so they can have their students create projects in their classroom.

What is App Smashing?
According to Graphite's simple steps which are attributed to Greg Kulowiec, app smashing is:
- Create content with one app.
- Create content with another app (or apps).
- Merge content together (smashing).
- Publish content to the web.
Examples of App Smashing
Thankfully there are many examples of how one could use two or more apps to create a final product on an iOS device.

App Workflow
Many of our #EdTech colleagues have app workflows to aid in the creation of content. The most visual are the ones created by Camila Gagliono (presentation only) and Common Sense Media has created it's own App Flow digital workspace so you can share your App Smashing ideas within.

SO Many Resources
The idea of combining or layering apps to create a final product is nothing new. Thankfully for the curious educator, the process has been documented and modeled in various ways. Below is a growing collection of various examples that students and teachers have used to demonstrate the powerful combinations of iOS apps.
