Consider the many times you present an idea, or tell a story.
Haiku Deck on the iPad, takes the art of presenting to a whole new level. Take an idea or a message; synthesize it to a few words that represent the deep understandings. Haiku Deck will use the words to locate images from Creative Commons that match the concept you are trying to say. Or you can choose to insert your own pictures, photos, and charts. Sharing the result can be via a projector or capture the image and send it somewhere (camera roll, email…)
How would I use this?
What intrigues me is the coordinated way that a few well chosen terms can connect with very specific images to communicate a powerful idea. If you’ve always used PowerPoint as your ‘go to’, consider making your presentations or messages stand out with this app. Use it to engage in Literature Circle responses, poetry, writing workshop, social studies history segment, news promotion or poster creations. Provide time for students to grapple with their ideas. Discussion will result in deeper themes and word phrases, which in turn generate other images. I made this one – where do you imagine the conversation will lead?
