This presentation will walk through some basics of creating and using Haiku Deck, with special emphasis on opportunities and challenges in the classroom.

There will be slides with links to helpful resources.

A second deck is being created with related resources from Haiku Deck Gurus.

Keep it simple by limiting your text and focusing each slide on a single idea.

Make it beautiful by building your story around high-impact images and keeping your formatting consistent.

And, most of all, have fun. Fun is not a word most people associate with presentations, but we feel they should be fun to make and fun to listen to.

Attribution license via Creative Commons means others can use your photograph or text in any way they want as long as they note that you are the original creator of the work.

So when you create a slide, you are using great images for free. Haiku Deck does the hard work of including the source information to give credit to the photographer and the specific image.

This information can be found on the bottom of a slide when exported to Keynote or PowerPoint, or at the bottom of a page when exported to PDF.

Another great tool outside of Haiku Deck for finding great creative-commons licensed images is CompFight: http://compfight.com/

10 Ways to Use Haiku Deck In Education
BY KRISSY VENOSDALE · JUNE 19, 2013

Here are a few ideas of using Haiku Deck in education…

1.) Open House Presentation or Meet the Teacher.

2.) Develop a school tour, or even town tour, to share with classes that you Skype with.

3.) Students develop a digital portfolio by snapping photos of projects they have done throughout the year and adding text to reflect.

4.) Take the Ipad on a field trip and pass around for each student to create a slide throughout the day.

5.) Photograph classroom and make a classroom tour. Better yet, have the kids create it and take ownership.

6.) Create a Haiku Deck to start off a project. Include some cropped photos to build interest and mix in some essential questions. Share the Haiku Deck from your website so parents can see, too.

7.) Encourage students to create one about a school staff after interviewing them.

8.) Develop one Haiku Deck every week by having teams of students work on it, and share the story of your school year.

9.) Encourage kids to summarize a book in a Haiku deck. Book reviews could be linked on a school library blog to encourage others to read the book, too.

10.) Take a geometry scavenger hunt around the school with cameras. Create a Haiku Deck to display the findings.

I guess I should have added, make Haikus. :) The simple nature of the app allows kids (and teachers!) to get started with it right away. Best of all, you don’t need an app or special program to view.

Pinterest is the best way to search for specific decks made with Haiku Deck. Unfortunately, there is no built-in search on the Haiku Deck site...yet.
