alice-teacher Alice Symposium June 2013, Call for papers, deadline Feb. 1

[Susan Rodger]

There will be THREE events of interest related to 
Alice at Duke University in summer 2013. Please encourage those using
Alice and not using Alice to consider attending one or more of these
events!

  1) There will be a one-day Alice Symposium on June 19, 2013. Teachers
     using Alice can submit a poster or paper about how they are using 
     it to share with others. There is also an Alice contest you can 
     submit student worlds too. This symposium is part of a week of
     activities that includes two-day workshops before and after the 
     symposium led by others including Alice leaders from CMU and 
     Barb Ericson from Georgia Tech. 

     Registration will be available in the spring and will be $25 for
     Alice Symposium and $25 to take workshops (one fee allows you to
     take multiple workshops). 

     There will be lodging scholarships for K-12 teachers.

     Information on the Alice Symposium and two-day workshops that
     week is here:
     		 
          http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/aliceSymposium2013/
     
  2) There will be a two-week free beginner workshop on Alice (version 2.3)
     at Duke University on July 8-12 and July 15-19, 2013 for K-12
     teachres.  This two-week beginner workshop teaches you Alice and helps
     you in developing lesson plans. This workshop is available to K-12
     teachers, with preference to NC K-12 teachers, but we always take a
     few teachers from outside of NC. This workshop is free and includes
     free lodging (sharing a room with one other teacher) and several meals
     thanks to support by the National Science Foundation with additional
     support by IBM.

     Registration information will likely occur online in mid-to-late 
     January. 

     Information on the two-week beginner workshop is here:

  3) There will be a one-week followup workshop on Alice at Duke on June
     17-21 (which includes attending the Alice Symposium mentioned above)
     for K-12 teachers who have previously attended the two-week Alice workshop
     at Duke, with preference for those who attended in 2012, but there is
     likely room for those who attended a previous two-week workshop and
     have not been able to attend the followup workshop in the past.

     Information on the one-week followup workshop is here:

Here is the call for the Alice Symposium. If you have been using 
Alice, consider submitting a paper, poster or student world. If you
have not been using Alice but want to see how others are using it, then
plan to attend this one-day symposium and consider attending a 
shorter 2-day workshop to learn more about Alice.

Call for papers, posters and Alice contest for the Third Alice
