Thing 16: Haiku Deck

Just got done messing around with Haiku Deck, and I had a lot of fun doing so.  I enjoy slide show presentations. I use them frequently when I host parent meetings for Athletics.  Haiku Deck (HD) was pretty easy to understand.  I was able to fire it up and started making a slide show within minutes.  My favorite aspect of HD was being able to pull the images up with a simple search.  The images were sharp and didn't seemed forced in, as they have in the past when I've used powerpoint/google slides.

My HD slide show can be found here

The user interface of this app was great.  It was easy to use the basic slides, and easy to add fun additions, such as various layouts and themes.  Although, I think there are more themes and layouts found in powerpoint.  I really liked how the themes of HD were visually impressive.

I could see myself using this for presentations I make.  It's a nice way to spice things up.  Also, it's really easy to share it with other people.  Instead of sending a file (that may or may not be compatible with the recipient) I can send a link that can be viewed by all.

I could also see students using this app to create their own presentation, especially if pictures are needed to be added.  I think it runs great on the iPad, and (like some other apps I just used) it was extremely easy to use the first time.
