alice-teacher New to Alice for Middle School

[Don Slater]

Eileen,
The repository is a very good idea, one I know that Steve Cooper is very interested in… We have talked about it, but we have not got past the talking stage… I think the time has come for us to become more active in our investigation.

Thanks for the nudge…

All the best,
Don Slater

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.
