The best place to go is www.oracleacademy.com.  You can join for free.
They provide online training or on site training, if you have enough
participants.  Their Oracle iLearning site has both student and teacher
resources.  These include videos, quizzes, worksheets and activities. Once
you take their training you can enroll students onto iLearning and complete
coursework in Alice 3, or Greenfoot, or Java.
