I highly suggest checking out this program especially if you have never used an application like Haiku in your education system before. Haiku does not only allow teachers to create rich content for their students but allows students to use a program that companies around the nation are utilizing. Similar programs other than Haiku are being used in the corporate scene. Allowing students to interact online through programs like Haiku will help students be prepared for their future careers.
