alice-teacher A2/A3 Textbooks

[reed-m]

LaShonda, I don't have a textbook, but I used materials from their website, the Ga Tech website and the Duke site. Duke is best. Also there is a list serve for educators. My daughter took a class in college and gave me her book. I was going to send you the name from school, but always forget when I'm there. There is a book on the Alice site. The one she had was gold and brown and for Alice 2.

There are 2 versions, Alice 2 and 3. Also Alice 2 keeps updating, I think it is version 2.4 now. Don't make the mistake I made, Alice 2 is a totally different program than 3, 3 isn't an upgrade of 2. They explained to me that 2 is like Algebra 1 and 3 is like Algebra 2, a more advanced program.

The kids love Alice, I'd suggest you play with it first and learn some, realize that the kids will surpass you quickly! Duke has some great tutorials, last semester I walked my kids through a couple of those and then had them make their own.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone uses a textbook with Alice. If you do, what
are your recommendations for a textbook? If you don¹t use a textbook, are
there other resources that you use?

I will be teaching a class for the first time, and I¹m just curious about
what other teachers do for Alice at the high school level. I had a class
that used Alice in college that didn¹t use a textbook, and we were fine
with just the teacher¹s notes.

Thanks,
LaShonda
