Overview:
Are you tired of PowerPoints? Are they killing you softly by how utterly boring they are? Then try Haiku Deck. Haiku Deck is a unique and free iPad app that allows people to create simple and eye catching presentations. It is quick and easy to use plus your presentations are streamline and not cluttered with text. It is unlike other apps as it is also used by business professionals. The company has been given praise by Time, The Wall Street Journal, and Fast Company to name a few.
Instructions:
It allows a limited about of text per slide. After typing a few words, then you can select from high quality pictures that are beautiful that you can add a filters to for a more hip look. Plus all the pictures are free. They are Creative Commons licensed photos, so no more hunting for photos. Haiku Deck also gives you the opportunity to make graphs and charts. After that you can choose from a variety of designs. Choosing the perfect look for your presentation couldn’t be easier. They have trendy fonts and layouts. Once your presentation is complete you can share your “deck” via email, social media, or any web device. You can even embed them in your blog or website.
Example:
Instead of doing another boring PowerPoint have your students create a Haiku Deck. This way they are not directly reading from their presentation. So long are the readers and hello to the story tellers. It is a refreshing way for students to present. Students can add content to a blog post, pitch an idea, recap and share, create a resume, give a report, make a list, share highlights, etc. The ideas are endless.
Discussion:
Lets get into groups according to discipline and think beyond your common presentation. Think creatively on how you or your students can use it. Each group needs to come up with one great new idea.
