How to Implement Haiku Deck- Teacher Version

• Teachers could implement to create a presentation on a unit of study, content review games, and/or to emphasize the visual learning process.
• Teachers could also incorporate by having students create their own presentations or stories for Language Arts, (English or Reading) there by working on their literacy and writing skills.

How to implement: teachers (con't)

• Teachers could also use Haiku Deck for an introduction on who they are at Parent Night or Open House as a fun, fresh way to get to know who is teaching your child.

How Students Can Implement Haiku Deck

• Create thier own digital portfolio of all the projects they have done throughout the year.
• To create a sense of community within the classroom, the students could each create a slide when creating a Haiku Deck of a tour of their school or classroom or from a field trip they went on. There are endless possibilities for utilizing Haiku Deck!

How students can implement (con't)

• Students can use Haiku Deck in math by creating presentations on what they learned. Example: Geometry: Each student can take a picture of Geometry they found in real life and together as a math class put together a beautiful Haiku Deck.
• Students could create book reports using Haiku Deck instead of writing them out the old fashioned way.

Any challenges/ limitations using Haiku Deck:

• There are limited choices as to how to decorate your slides, which limits creativity.
• Even though Haiku Deck is quick and simple, with limited choices on what students can do, does that necessarily mean that students are putting in their best efforts?

Challenges/Limitations

• Cannot fix font size; More slides, less info on each slide; less is more.
• For better features, you have to pay a fee. I tried to add a video but I have to upgrade to PRO.

Challenges/Limitations (Con't)

• As future teachers, we would most likely only use Haiku Deck for primary grades due to its simplicity.
