Poem Flow


Poem Flow is an App created for the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad that displays a daily poem line by line to viewers. Everyone can see the same poem on the same day creating an instant, invisible community of simultaneous readers. The poems are from a mix of the greatest poems in English. But, even if you do not have those devices, you can still utilize this poetry resource online. After viewing Poem Flow, I immediately thought about, after students became familiar with it, how cool it would be to have them create their own Poem Flows by using KeyNote. Students could use a photo of of an iPod, iPad, TV, or just about anything, and then create slides or builds with text boxes. Students could export their Flow as a movie file and then share with an audience of their class by using an LCD projector, or with the world, using a Web 2.0 tool that would allow them to embed their video on to a website, blog or wiki.
