The cool name of this website caught my attention, Haiku Deck, which made me want to check it out. I found this site to be very user friendly. It also offers lots of free design options: backgrounds, images, and super helpful tutorials since technology can be challenging for me (can you say WordPress!?). One of the great things about Haiku Deck is its simplicity, both in use and design choices. It wasn’t quite as overwhelming as Canva and Prezi were for me. It reminds me a lot of our textbook with the focus on how to balance and align things so viewers are drawn to the information you want them to focus on. I feel this tool is great for beginners and that professional presentations can easily be created here as well. I can definitely see that more advanced designs / designers would want to either purchase a version with more options or possibly explore other sites. I think this could be a fun tool to share with students in the library. I don’t think it is something I would have elementary students tackle on their own, but it would fun to utilize as a whole group activity. We could use it to answer questions about a specific book or genre using student input. Keep in mind the free version only allows you to create 3 “decks” at a time. There was an option for embedding the file into WordPress, but when I attempted to do so, it was rejected by ODU, so I just went with a link. I ended up doing two sets of slides just to try out a few different options. Haiku Deck is really simple, fun, and I will definitely use it again. I think it would be would a positive addition to any Resource Presentation.
