App Smashing has been a term that we have used quite a bit in my classroom. This involves taking two or more programs and using them together to make one product. I am THRILLED to see that even my little Firstie Friends can smash Apps with the best of them!
In the last two weeks, I have been allowing the kids to play around with some of the Apps to see what they would do with them. By far POWTOON has become a fast favorite! They love, Love, LOVE making movies! Especially movies with their voices in them.

First, the kids recorded themselves using AudioBoo. Since we use Edmodo as a launch for all of our online "Stuff", AudioBoo is the best for voice and sound recordings for us. There are LOTS AND LOTS of alternates out there. That's a blog for another day.
After their recordings were saved, we moved them to DropBox (Admittedly, I moved them to dropbox to save time and headaches.) I am sure that any cloud service will suffice. Again, another blog for another day...LOL
Once we had our recordings in a place where they were accessible, we started our videos on Powtoon. The kids had LOTS of fun adding their facts to their videos and putting the animated characters in. There were lots of laughs all around!!
Check out E's Powtoon on the 4 seasons! She did an amazing job!
