alice-teacher High School / Middle School Texts for Alice

[Dean Arteaga]

Alice is a great programming environment.
Depending on the age of your children, you may also want to look at  
MIT's free programming intro software environment called: Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu 
  is the URL).
My daughter, now eight, has used it almost daily for the last three  
years (yes, at 5 she started) and it is robust enough for her to learn  
more. Like any language, human or programming, it is good to learn  
more than one.
She and my son are home-schooled. Me, I am a high school computer  
science/ technology teacher and ex-IT Exec.
Alice is great.  Scratch is really cool as well.
Hope this helps.
