G'day Deedee,
I basically re-thought the whole teaching process based around
object-oriented programming instead of structured programming. I based it
heavily on the resources available from the Alice site, but put it all into
my templates and teaching style. I deliver lectures each week which are
followed up by worksheets that students must complete for homework (they
get
the answers from the lectures). We then have three follow-up practical
classes where they must do specific tasks based around Alice. Sometimes I
just get them to do an Alice tutorial, other times I give them complete
instructions ... do this, do that, then do this etc. I can send you a copy
of our teaching schedule if you are interested and some sample lectures,
worksheets, tasks. We also get students to do a practical test in a 50
minutes session and offer them an opportunity to present a project
demonstrating their skills. I haven't written the project specifications
yet. We teach NS Diagrams as a planning method instead of flowcharts.
Cheers
David Ô¿Ô

Hi David,
I would love to hear your ideas of how you rewrote the Visual Basic class.
We are in the process of trying to update as well.

Wow, I would love to attend, but I am in Brisbane Australia!
<grin>When's a workshop to be schedule here?</grin> I have just completed
six months of writing a course based around Alice to replace our ageing
Visual Basic course for post-secondary students. I love Alice. It is
already
solving many issues regarding student focus and attention span!

Carnegie Mellon will host the Alice Institute for interested high school
and
college instructors. This Institute will consist of two workshops. The
first
workshop will be focused on Alice 2.2 and will be held June 19 - June 24.
Plan on arriving on Sunday, June 19, and departing Friday afternoon, June
24. This workshop will explore the Alice 2.2 programming environment as an
effective and engaging tool to introduce students from middle school
through
college level to programming and Computer Science, perhaps in preparation
for a CS 1 course.
The second workshop will be focused on Alice 3, and will be held June 26 -
July 1. Plan on arriving on Sunday, June 26, and departing Friday
afternoon,
July 1. This workshop will explore the Alice 3 programming environment as
an
effective and engaging tool for students in a Computer Science 1 or
Advanced
Placement course in Java.
Working with nationally recognized experts in Alice, a tool developed at
Carnegie Mellon, teachers in both workshops will develop an understanding
of
Alice, and teaching methods suitable for presenting Alice in their own
unique environment. The workshop is appropriate for any instructor who is
considering or currently using Alice in a pre-CS1 or CS1 course.
You should note that there is a registration fee of $300, plus your housing
and meals. More details and registration page can be found at:

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.
