Alice Offers Gentler Intro to Programming
At the time, Dann and Cooper were applying for a National Science Foundation grant to move Alice into high schools, and worked closely with the district the summer before the language was introduced into the district, Harrison said. Cooper presented a week of teacher training on how to teach with Alice, then teachers spent a second week, with assistance from Cooper, writing curriculum.Course materials for teaching Alice, made available at no charge by Carnegie-Mellon, are available at aliceprogramming.net. Teachers who register at the site can access materials with exercise solutions and lesson plans, but Harrison said that as yet, he has seen nothing specific for high schools.
