Haiku Deck has had a lot of visibility lately, so I had to check it out. This iPad app allows the user to create slideshows (called Decks) with a minimal amount of text. We have been proponents of this for a long time in our own classrooms, as it allows students to verbalize what they know, as opposed to reading their slides. They really need to think about what they want to convey, as the images have to tell the story. Haiku Deck offers copyright friendly images and themes, or students can use their own. Decks can be shared via email, Facebook, Twitter, played off the Haiku Deck website, or embedded into your own e-portfolio or blog.
I made a little one, and embedded it here. This in no way exhibits the breadth of what Haiku Deck can do, just my limited creative abilities! There are different themes, options for text placement, and sub-text can be added. It is very intuitive; students will find it easy to use.
