alice-teacher Alice Institute at CMU

[Don Slater]

You may want to investigate the web site maintained by Dr. Susan Rodger at Duke University.

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

This is an excellent collection of teaching materials, example worlds and tutorials that have been specifically developed for K - 12.

All the best,
Don Slater

However, I wanted to know if there are other online resources which I can obtain ideas and lesson plans for teaching Alice to middle school students.  I'm starting to plan right now since I don't have much time between the traditional year to summer school sessions.  Any suggestions would be helpful!
