We would love to hear your thoughts on our latest video.

Renee Hochstetler, our marketing consultant, has been working closely with us to craft a new promotional video talking about 'What is Haiku'. We have a near-final draft, and we wanted to run it by all of you to see if our language and video does a good job of presenting Haiku.

Could you share your impressions, positive or negative? We are curious about how effective the video is talking about what Haiku is and what it can do.

We will also be sharing this with teachers who have not experienced Haiku to get their feedback too.

What works well? What can we do better?

Thank you all! We will post the final version back to this forum later so you can see the results of your comments.

Left my comments on YouTube. It's definitely moving in the right direction!

I haven't seen the previous versions but the video does a good job of introducing the basic functionality and features in a simple, easy to understand manner. However, the narrator nearly put me to sleep; no offense, but it was the archetypal "boring lecture voice".

If you want us educators to be "excited" and "passionate" about using this tool, then the narrator needs to convey that sense of how easy and fun and it can be to be engaged and teaching with this tool. I love Haiku, and I'm not sure the narrative conveys that as well as it could
