Lance Allen from Baltimore, MD wishes to share some of the work his students are doing…

This is a good place to brag on our students, I think…

Our Facebook page might be another place to share work like this…

>> I teach high school computer science at a private high school in the Baltimore, Maryland area. I begin my program with 9th graders using the ALICE software. At the end of the session I require the students to submit a final project of their own creation. This is one such project: 
>> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18269962/Ajax.zip
>>  
>> Midway through the course I ask the students to work in teams and, using a child's textbook which I provide, they are to animate it. This is an example of my students work based upon the children's book by Doreen Cronin, "Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type".  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18269962/jSchiff%20Farmer%20Brown.7z
>>  
>> If you wish to download the projects they are both rather large. After de-compressing them you will note they are in .WMV (Windows Media) format. At first I tried to run the programs in ALICE on a machine with 6 GB of memory and had problems. I then decided to record them. I can provide the ALICE source if you wish.
>>  
>> I placed several programming requirements on the students for each assignment:
>> 1. Variables and parameters are to be used
>> 2. Methods/Functions are to be used
>>  
>>  
>> I just thought you might be interested in how some 9th graders are progressing using the ALICE program as an introduction to Computer Science.
