alice-teacher Common repository for shared resources

[Keith Golebie]

Don,

Would it be possible to do both on the same site?  An open section for everyone, especially students, and a secure area with a logon for teachers.  Having them both on the same site would be great. I have a few students that are working ahead independently, and a single resource would be great.

Just want to tell you once again what a success Alice has been here in EC. We have used Alice to get the technology ball rolling and it has delivered. In fact, I have several students this year who are not in the programming class, but are working through the course on their own, just following along with what we are doing. I have quite a few students who have installed it at home, and are really making progress. One student told me just yesterday, that last weekend she went on a 9 hour car trip with her family to visit relatives and spent the entire car ride working on Alice! To me that's amazing, for a high school student.  That's been another bonus. Last year, our first year with programming, the class was all males. This year, we have quite a few young ladies taking programming. We were able to do some encouraging last year, demonstrating with Alice, and it paid off.  

Thanks for all you guys do to support us out here in the classroom!

Keith

I have heard your request for a common location for shared resources, which is an excellent idea, and one that has been on my radar for some time.

I am now examining options as to how to best facilitate such a repository...

The question I want to ask the community: How secure do we want this resource to be? If this repository contains problem / exercise solutions, do we want to insure that students do not have access to it?

Have a good weekend,
Don Slater
