Daryl, for your animation course, do you start with chapter one and then go
through what chapter?

 

Your sister in Christ,

Another teacher and I introduced an animation class last year.  The students
take half a year with me using Alice (programming) and half a year with him
using 3D Studio Max (design).  Either class could run on its own, but that
was how the administration was willing to approve it.

 

In my opinion, the most important part of teaching a computer science class
is the logical thinking and problem solving learned.  I found that my intro
to computer science class (in Java) was too challenging for a large
percentage of the student populations.  So by introducing a half year class
in Alice, any student in the school can have the opportunity to improve
their problem solving and logical thinking skills in a fun and interesting
way.  My Alice class (Animation) has a high percentage of freshman and
special ed students.   So far it has been great.

I am interested in learning more about the various courses being taught that
use Alice. Is Alice a component of a course or is it the entire course?

 

My administration has not allowed me to create a course specifically for
Alice. The state of South Carolina requires that Flash be used for the
Foundations of Animation course and Java for Computer Programming 1.

Yes, Alice does work on Lion, but you may have to install Java 1.6... The
attached document contains instructions for adding Java to older Windows
machines and OS X Lion machines.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

All the best,

Don Slater
