Hi Eric,
I have a web page with material I pulled from Susan’s Adventures in Alice.
I use this order for middle school and high school students.
https://sites.google.com/charidistler.com/charidistler/alice-with-ms-distler?authuser=0
I then have students screencast worlds and upload to YouTube. Then they add
their link to Adobe Spark Page and reflect which gives them portfolio
Example
https://spark.adobe.com/page/IlH8soJO0Dtnx/
Hope this helps someone
Regards,
Chari
