alice-teacher ALICE training

[Sharon Flinspach]

I wouldn't necessarily give up on Visual Basic.  Yes, VB6 is outdated, but
you could try Visual Basic 2010.  Our local community college (in Iowa)
teaches it as part of their Software Development program, and I am teaching
the course this year for community college credit.  And, Microsoft just
recently released VB 2012 as well.  However, in support of Alice, they also
teach Alice as their very first programming language, and I could teach it
for community college credit as well.

You might see if any community colleges might teach Alice in the DFW area
of Texas.  I imagine we do things differently in Iowa than in Texas, so
perhaps that won't work.

Best Wishes!
