DESCRIPTION

Slides from the fifth workshop with the children and staff at Lubuto Library at Ngwerere in Lusaka, Zambia. We ventured into making flaps in Etoys to contain pop-out information and to temporarily hold working tools during production. Then we deconstructed the Lubuto Bemba Letterboard and saw how to make a transparent sound button. Lastly, transparent sound buttons were built over individual words in a sentence and triggered with mouseEnter. The eight days of workshops I am delivering are funded by a USAID/WorldVision grant from the All Children Reading Challenge. Representatives from the Zambian Ministry of Education participated in all the sessions.
