alice-teacher Collaborative Alice Projects

[Buddha, Sharada]

Dear Prof. Meijers,
This is a very interesting concept. So 4 students independently contributed (without mutual discussion etc) to the project and made up the story. Like it. Thank you for sharing.

Subject: alice-teacher Collaborative Alice Projects

I teach an online course in Alice to year 5 & 6 students (10-12 yr olds) in schools across Tasmania (Australia) as part of an extension curriculum.  The students have only started using Alice in March this year, so their skills are still very basic, but I thought others might be interested in a very successful collaborative project I've just done.  It was called Pass It On, and basically it had 4 rounds, where each round the projects were passed on by me to a student in a different school.

Week 1: Students all designed an Alice scene and sent it to me.  I then sent the project on to the next student in a different school.
Week 2: Students had to code a story starter.
Week 3: Students added a story middle
Week 4: Students add a story ending.

So in the end, each project had been completed by four different students from four different schools.  The kids really loved it, and it was a great way for them to learn from each other as they looked at the code that each previous student had added in.
