alice-teacher New to Alice for Middle School

[EILEEN PELUSO]

Hi Christine,
Welcome to the Alice community!  I've used Alice with your age group
but for shorter periods of time.  I've done a 2-week instructional unit
after which the teachers (who had graciously welcomed me into their
classrooms) followed with a third week where students created their own
stories/games.  Materials for that can be found at the first link below.
 I've also done some summer enrichment programs and those materials can
be found at the links below that.

Best wishes!
 
Hi Don,
Has anyone set up a repository where teachers can donate lesson plans
and projects that they've created, to share with others?
Thanks!

Christine,
As a start, a site that you may wish to check out that would be helpful
would be 

http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/alice/aliceInSchools/

Maintained by Professor Susan Rogers at Duke University, this site has
many great resources in the use of Alice in K-12... You will find a lot
of examples, tutorials and projects here that you may find helpful.

I am sure members of the community will be helpful in describing how
they use Alice in their particular environments.

All the best,
Don Slater

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances
confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the
life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common
hours.
