alice-teacher Graphic Computer Programming Additional Curriculum

I agree.  Once you have taught Alice a few times, both the teacher and students become pretty adept to it and you run out of options (or they get bored).

You could introduce some of the basics of Java through Karel J Robot (do a search).  The JAR files to work with this are free.  Scratch is also an option, but similar to the drag and drop interface of Alice – it does allow for easy import of your own sounds and images however.

Dear All -
 I have taught Alice in my programming class for the past three years.  I need to add more to the course - I have become more efficient in my teaching.  Does anyone have particular recommendations of what languages or projects I could add for the portion of the year after I've used Alice?  I would like it to be something different from Alice.

Thank you all -
