We’re half-way through 2013. Like I’ve done in years past, this week I’ll be featuring some of the best new tech tools of 2013 as well as some of the most popular posts of the year.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Ken Shelton present on a number of occasions. Each time he has had superbly designed slidedecks. I’ve used many of Ken’s presentation design tips
in my own presentations over the last year and I think they’ve helped
make my slides better. Recently, Ken shared with me a slidedeck that he
made about the use of visuals in storytelling. He made the presentation
on Haiku Deck and you can view it here or view it below.

Applications for Education
One of the things that I love about Haiku Deck
is that it intentionally limits students ability to add lots of text to
their slides. This in turn makes them focus on the use of visuals.
Ken’s Haiku Deck presentation can be an instructive model for your
students.
