A few weeks ago I was contacted by a former student. After a few emails back and forth, he asked for some email addresses of some of his former classmates. So I went down the hall to ask the Grade 5-6 teacher if I could leave a message on her whiteboard asking if anyone wanted to share their emails with this former student. About halfway through writing the message, I stopped and erased it.  I changed the message from one asking permission to one explaining that I had shared all their emails with someone and to let me know if they had any questions. At lunch time a grade 5 student came to my class to ask me to come to his class to help them. By this time I had forgotten all about the letter, and when I got to the classroom I was expecting to fix a computer. Instead, I was confronted by 20 angry students. "Why did you give our email addresses away?" one student asked. " Who did you give them to?" demanded another. We ended up talking about trustworth...

I love Haiku Deck. I love how simple it is for anyone to start using and create amazing presentations.  For such an easy app to learn, Haiku Deck has an immense amount of options, and trying to explain them has taken me a few days. Here is a comprehensive guide to Haiku Deck (15 pages!) ... and I feel there is so much more talk about with this app. The first half of this guide is a quick start guide - designed to get busy people creating in less than 10 minutes. I have also recorded a video tutorial that is only 4 minutes. I wanted it to be 2, but I also wanted to show some advanced features that could be useful.
