Smith Karen Week 4 Udutu project Link, YOU TUBE example of it below

Here is my Udutu project, called Mortimer

http://publish.myudutu.com/published/launcheval/20211/Course37169/Launch.html

This is designed for small children, learning that you can go UP and DOWN on a flat xylophone. (That is hard for kids to understand at first).

There are mistakes that I haven't figured out. In power point, the notes going upward and the steps go upward, but in the udutu, they stack up, no steps.

The music notes C and A are NOT in the staff like they should be.

There are 2 letter L's being demonstrated next to my hands, but instead, it shows them both in one picture and NONE in the other picture.
It goes on and on like that.
But the biggest ones are all the steps should look like steps going upward and downward.

Thank you.

I made a power point study for this, since my flash project was badly done.

However, it doesn't come across at all the way it is supposed to. So, I am putting this powerpoint in, as a movie. In hopes that people can look at it and see what the Udutu project is SUPPOSED to look like.
Please watch the powerpoint just to get a better idea of what the 1st and 2nd grade students are supposed to see.

It will NOT be a movie for them. They need to take the time to read, or be read to, and process it, practice it, try it out on the glockenspiel or cardboard xylophone and THEN they move to the next page to do it.

I was given permission and a very sweet note from the author of Mortimer, to use parts of his book in this project.

He was very sweet and humble, even though he has written some of the very best kids in the past 20 years. Most everyone knows the book, Love You Forever.

My son sang the song from it at his baby's funeral last May. Robert Munsch wrote it after his wife had their second still born baby. Matthew's second baby, Hannah, lived one hour.

So, I was honored to even hear from Robert Munsch when I asked permission .
