Project #3: MTI 562



I created a Haiku Deck to introduce my 2nd grade students to nonfiction text features which they can use as tools to help them when reading nonfiction. This serves as a good starting point. From there, they participate in nonfiction scavenger hunts and work collaboratively on text-mapping. This web tool was pretty easy to use. I downloaded the app to my iPad, but you can create "decks" on the web site as well.

I also created a Haiku Deck about butterflies as a model for my first grade research lesson.  Next year, rather than put their final product on paper, I'd like my students to create a Haiku Deck about the butterfly they researched. They are focusing on identifying the butterfly, describing the color of it, and describing what the caterpillar looks lilke.  They will then compare the butterfly studied in Library class to their live butterfly in the classroom. This is a simple project, but between the reading involved and the use of technology at this level, I feel it is age appropriate.

  1. I love Haiku Deck. This is an awesome tool for presenting information to students. I really like the visuals you used to go along with the text in this presentation. Do you think you would have students use this tool to demonstrate knowledge? I know they are young...just wondering what you thought about this as I teach mostly high school students.

  2. I would like to try having my first graders create a deck for their butterfly research project. I think they would be able to create 3 slides with support.

  3. I notice lots of presenters use Haiku Deck for their presentations. I see very few using PowerPoint anymore.

    1. I agree. I haven't seen PowerPoints used in a long time.

  4. Haiku Deck seems so simple for younger students. I will have to try it out with my second graders next year.

    1. I don't think they will have a problem. I plan to start very simple and move from there. I know that you have your students blogging, so they should have no problems with the text portion. The image upload is easy as well. Although if you use their images, you'll have to preview them as Jacqui mentioned in the GH.
