alice-teacher A2/A3 Textbooks

[Gilbert Stankiewicz]

LaShonda,

I'm just getting started with the text "Learning Java Through Alice" by
Tebring Daly and Eileen Wrigley, ISBN 9781491073933.  Using the NetBeans
Alive plugin, students can import programs created in Alice 3.1 into the
NetBeans IDE.  They can then examine and modify the code directly in
NetBeans.  The text guides the student through the process while also
introducing Java programming.

This is the only text I found that combines Alice 3.1 programming with
Java. I am quite excited about the possibilities this provides for the
small class of high school seniors in the course.
