App smashing with Minecraft is an amazing experience. Over a two hour period we take the students on a high speed journey of using a wide variety of apps to create an outcome. While the initial outcome is not important the general idea is to allow students to see how different app can integrate with each other and open the students minds to other possibilities.
Currently the students have learnt to screen capture still shots of Minecraft, moving pictures using iShow you. Manipulate the images using Paintbrush, Crazytalk, recording their own voices, editing in Final Cut Pro X, exporting outcomes to iTunes, viewing the outcome in Quicktime and how to save and label the file onto our storage server.
Students are now beginning to see the possibilites and how the fairytale or fable can come to life on the screen.
I will post some of the first rough prototypes in the next few days.
