WK4 Response #2 - Amanda Wright

My UDUTU lesson focuses on the Social Skills of Kindness and Cooperation.
Wow, what an experience! At first I was frustrated with UDUTU but after working out a few kinks and talking to a few friends (thank you Kathy!) I was well on my way to creating a lesson on UDUTU. Once I got going, I decided that I really like this tool. It was easy to create an assessment and link the pages to the correct answers. I did find it frustrating that some of the fonts were difficult to change and make larger. I can certainly see this being a nice tool to use in the future!

Amanda,
I really liked the subject matter in your lesson, and the colors and the customization you used with it really gave it an original tone as well. Great job!...

I found Udutu to be difficult to navigate, which in turn made creating my lesson harder than I had planned. It took me several days to set up my account, read through tutorials on the program, and then get my lesson up and running. Even after creating my lesson for this class, I am still feeling a bit confused by the Udutu program. Although I understand the concept of Udutu, I feel like there are probably other programs that I could use in order to create interactive lessons for my students that would be easier and more time-effective.

Abbie,
I can relate to your experience with Udutu. I've always enjoyed some degree of uniformity in graphics and animation programs. I want to be able to change everything: font, colors, artwork, background, etc. Long ago, I found that Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash does all that. So, now my only issue with using any other web 2.0 tool is inserting .swf files for embedded interactivity. I don't like having to learn entire new interfaces when you can learn one and then spend all your time coming up with the content instead of just figuring out how to deliver it.

WK4 - Udutu (Flash) Project
Here is my link to my Udutu project:
http://web.me.com/bmc0004/FLASH/WEEK4.html
This module is used to inform, entertain, and then assess student knowledge of U.S. History. Since this was module was used in practical application for my Action Research, I decided to get permission to use this Flash version instead of Ududtu.
