There are two features of Haiku Deck that stand out. Haiku Deck has an adequate selection of free templates that should suit all students. Applications for Education Without the option to create long lists of bullett points or big blocks of texts, the beauty of Haiku Deck is that after students create visually pleasing slides they then have to focus on really knowing their material before presenting to an audience.
