We are working on something to celebrate that milestone and have been asked to look for an educator and student who would be willing to record a short video (we will proved some direction). We are hoping to find an educator that thinks fondly of Alice and how it helped them to teach Java/CS, excite new students to Java/CS and a student that was impacted by Alice and has gone on to further ed or career in CS even better if that path included using Java to be our representatives (super awesome if you have an Alice T-shirt or Alice themed props :) since I don?t think I can mail anything). If you are willing or interested please reach out to me directly and I can give you more information. We are looking to find people quickly (need to do our part by the end of next week).

Here are their instructions: )> For those of you who may be interested... After many attempts, I am happy to report that Alice 3 (the latest version) is running on the Chromebook! Linux is running in a window, so you can toggle between Linux and Chrome without rebooting. All credit and thanks to Steve Audia at CMU - Steve's patience through this process was amazing! Additionally, thanks and credit to Eric Brown for your input and for making the connections. The process does require Developer mode, and that may be sticky for IT Staff in school districts, but it does work. This is not as complicated as it may seem. There are 3 main steps - run the Ubuntu install, update Linux & install java, then install Alice. This is only one method of making this work, there are others. If you find other methods, please share them with the list. Installing the Linux version of Alice on a Chromebook 1. Follow the steps to install Linux Ubuntu using Crouton found here: https://www.lifewire.com/install-linux-on-chromebook-4125253 Once Linux is up and running, you may have to reboot the system, so go ahead and do that. (Follow directions on Crouton install) 2. After rboot, in a terminal window on Linux, run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer 3. Alice Download Alice 3 for Linux from Alice.org The remainder is from Alice.org : Linux: the Linux shell script does not start the installer right away. Follow these steps: Open the Terminal, and go to the directory where you have downloaded Alice. Type chmod +x Alice3_unix_Offline_3_2_5_0_0.sh Type ./Alice3_unix_Offline_3_2_5_0_0.sh Installation will start in a few seconds 4. Alice 2 Click on Download Alice 2.x for Linux for the appropriate gallery version of Alice 2.x. After the download is complete, unzip the downloaded file. Place the complete uncompressed directory in the desired location on your machine. Open the Alice 2.x directory Find the Required directory in the Alice 2.x directory and open it Double-click the run-alice file in the Required directory (you may wish to create a short-cut for this file to place on your desktop). If Alice does not start, you may need to reset the classpath for the Java location on your machine. -Keith Al the best, Don Slater Alice Project > On Jul 21, 2020, at 12:39 AM, Rhett Nettles wrote: > > I am interested in learning about the emulator for chromebooks. > Thanks, > Rhett Nettles > PS You guys are awesome!!!

The biggest challenge for this setup is that it requires you to run your Chromebook in developer mode, which /most district IT directors will not want you to do, and especially not for the students.For that and a few other reasons, I don't recommend anyone attempt this unless you have very strong tech skills and a cooperative tech department.

I hope the answer is yes! I have used Alice 2 and 3 for three years and would really like to keep using it. However, when COVID stopped in-school instruction, I used SCRATCH and it was OK, but mainly for younger programmers.

I will also post a response from Keith with some words of warning / advice? A member of the Alice community, Keith Golebie, has found that by installing a linux emulator on the Chromebook, he was able to run Alice (both versions), The setup is not trivial however. Here are their instructions: )> For those of you who may be interested... After many attempts, I am happy to report that Alice 3 (the latest version) is running on the Chromebook! Linux is running in a window, so you can toggle between Linux and Chrome without rebooting. All credit and thanks to Steve Audia at CMU - Steve's patience through this process was amazing! Additionally, thanks and credit to Eric Brown for your input and for making the connections. The process does require Developer mode, and that may be sticky for IT Staff in school districts, but it does work. This is not as complicated as it may seem. There are 3 main steps - run the Ubuntu install, update Linux & install java, then install Alice. This is only one method of making this work, there are others. If you find other methods, please share them with the list. Installing the Linux version of Alice on a Chromebook 1. Follow the steps to install Linux Ubuntu using Crouton found here: https://www.lifewire.com/install-linux-on-chromebook-4125253 Once Linux is up and running, you may have to reboot the system, so go ahead and do that. (Follow directions on Crouton install) 2. After rboot, in a terminal window on Linux, run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer 3. Alice Download Alice 3 for Linux from Alice.org The remainder is from Alice.org : Linux: the Linux shell script does not start the installer right away. Follow these steps: Open the Terminal, and go to the directory where you have downloaded Alice. Type chmod +x Alice3_unix_Offline_3_2_5_0_0.sh Type ./Alice3_unix_Offline_3_2_5_0_0.sh Installation will start in a few seconds 4. Alice 2 Click on Download Alice 2.x for Linux for the appropriate gallery version of Alice 2.x. After the download is complete, unzip the downloaded file. Place the complete uncompressed directory in the desired location on your machine. Open the Alice 2.x directory Find the Required directory in the Alice 2.x directory and open it Double-click the run-alice file in the Required directory (you may wish to create a short-cut for this file to place on your desktop). If Alice does not start, you may need to reset the classpath for the Java location on your machine. -Keith Al the best, Don Slater Alice Project > On Jul 22, 2020, at 4:23 PM, Denise S wrote: > > Hello, > I just learned that I will be teaching remotely for at least part of the 2020/2021 school year. > My students use Chromebooks. > Could you please send along the steps involved to set this up? > Thank you, > Denise Stanley > Grade 6 Computer Science > > -- > Denise Stanley > Grade 6 Computer Science Teacher > Advanced Math & Science Academy Charter School > 201 Forest St., Marlborough, MA 01752 > (508) 597-2400 > d.stanley at amsacs.org > > > > www.amsacs.org _______________________________________________ > alice-teachers mailing list > alice-teachers at lists.andrew.cmu.edu > To change settings or unsubscribe visit: > https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/alice-teachers -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The biggest challenge for this setup is that it requires you to run your Chromebook in developer mode, which /most district IT directors will not want you to do, and especially not for the students.For that and a few other reasons, I don't recommend anyone attempt this unless you have very strong tech skills and a cooperative tech department.
