Sample App Smash Toolkit
It is helpful to keep a Toolkit handy with the categories and descriptions of the apps that can be used for smashing. With so many free apps, it is fairly easy to find apps to support the final project. Consider these categories of apps: organization, creation of content, photo editing, audio recording, screen captures and sharing. |
