While I'm on an artsy vein, I must mention the presentation potential of the Haiku Deck app. It could easily transform individual lines of poetry into iconic imagery, because the app selects a variety of images based on the words used on each slide. Once in the editor, you have the opportunity to select the word that will become the basis for the background image, which has a significant impact on what the visual contributes to the text. Its functions are intuitive, controls that any student could grasp and use to his/her advantage when interpreting a second level of meaning in a text.
Now, I'm beginning to wonder how to use the sharing functionality of so many of these apps. Are there privacy considerations I must address? Can they be collected on one site where students can create individual portfolios? Or should the products be sorted by app instead of student? That I have yet to discover.
