App smashing is the process of using multiple apps together to complete a final project. The goals of the session are to understand what app smashing is, identify iPad apps that work well for app smashing, and discuss how app smashing targets higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. Examples of app smashing projects include an African documentary created using multiple apps and a library promotion created using Tellagami and another app. The presenter provides resources on app smashing and examples of apps to use, and challenges participants to create an app smashed project promoting a library.
