alice-teacher CURRICULUM

[reed-m]

I've used both 2 and 3, my kids and I prefer 3.  I used to start with 2 and move to 3, but now I just start with 3.

There are several options for curriculum, on the website there is a link to the Oracle and Curriki curriculum.  I have used Duke University in the past, this time I used Oracle.  Personally, I felt the Oracle went too slow.  Duke isn't quite as step by step as the Oracle.  I teach only about 2-3 weeks of 1 ½ hour classes, so I felt Oracle was too slow for my purposes.  This is the link for the Oracle curriculum: https://academy.oracle.com/self-study/alice/index.html
Here is Duke: http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/alice/aliceInSchools/
Here is the Curriki curriculum: http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Group_IntroductiontoProgrammingwithAlice/WebHome

Hope that helps!

Subject: alice-teacher CURRICULUM

I will be teaching Alice as a semester-long course to high school students and would like curriculum that provides chapters with video tutorials, activities, assignments, and projects and instructional materials for the teacher. Any suggestions?

Also, which version should I use, Alice 2 or 3?

Thanks!
