App Smashing Tutorial – Noteflight with Soundtrap

App smashing can help your students and your school adopt the very best learning strategies. The term was coined by a former history teacher and current education technology expert, Greg Kulwiec, in 2013. In this blog, we’ll show you how to app smash using Noteflight with Soundtrap

What is App Smashing? 

App smashing refers to smashing together multiple apps in combination with each other to complete a task. You can create something in one app and then go to another and create a completely different element of your project. Finally, you’ll merge the content together to create a final product. 

Why App Smash? 

App smashing involves several different applications working together. App smashing involves creative thinking from your students, maximizes the value created by your applications, and often results in more engaging final products. As long as students clearly understand what they want to achieve and have an outline of the project, they can build a more efficient end result through app smashing.
