African Documentary
Mr. Andrew’s iPads in Education

Tellagami to teach findings about scientists.

Scientists
Karen Ogen shares a 1st grade assignment that smashes the Tellagami and iMovie apps (Karen compiled the videos using Windows Movie Maker but iMovie could achieve the same result) to teach about the sun and moon. While the backgrounds were clearly hand drawn and then captured using the iPad camera, the same activity could be recreated with students drawings using any sketching app.

Earth & Moon
Laura Chaffey’s class shares one of my favorite purposeful app-smashing projects. Her primary students composed a persuasive piece depicting why they would be a good candidate to be recruited for Mars One. The apps smashed were the camera, Google Earth, Tellagami, and iMovie.
