alice-teacher Alice Training?

Lorie,

Thanks for the reply, I am so excited to see that you are interested in
Alice. We are going to gather information over the next few weeks to see
where the needs are, and will put something together that should work for
everyone. There may be another survey to help with the planning and we will
do or best to provide this at a very reasonable cost.

In the meanwhile, could you tell me a little about yourself? Just a few
brief answers would help with the planning for this. There have been several
responses already, and the replies to the following may give me enough to go
on, if not, then there may be an additional survey.

Your answers can be brief, and rest assured they will be very helpful. I
just want to get an initial picture of everyone's situation. 

Questions that would help us plan include - 

Your technology/programming background, if any (none required) 

What is your overall comfort level with technology, especially as it applies
to programming? 

Do you have any previous experience with Alice or any other programming
teaching tools, such as Scratch or Blocky? 

What grade levels/ages will you be instructing with Alice?

What version of Alice are you interested in (2.x, 3.x, not sure)?

What you would hope to gain from this workshop.

Thanks,

Keith

I would be interested in a virtual workshop this summer for Alice 3. I have
been teaching Alice 3 to beginning programming students in high school and
have really enjoyed it.

@Tamara, and anyone else who may be interested - I would also be happy to
organize a virtual workshop for this summer, for you or anyone else who may
be interested, and/or coach you through the Alice learning process. I have
been using both Alice 2 and 3 in the classroom for a number of years, have
taken many workshops, and taught quite a few as well. I do PD locally here
in Western PA on technology, and especially with Alice, for my district and
others. I will be presenting workshops again this summer for several other
districts, and I presented 2 sessions on using Alice in the classroom
yesterday at Pete & C (http://www.peteandc.org/ ) Pennsylvania's largest,
statewide, Education Technology conference, along with our Elementary
computer teacher. We are coordinating our activities throughout the school
year, during the school day and afterschool, to get technology into the
hands of our  students, at all age and grade levels. 

If you, or anyone else is interested, reply and we'll get the ball rolling. 

Keith

There will be at least one training at CMU this summer, check alice.org for
dates (don't know if the date has been finalized, yet) and there will be
training courses, including a 2 week session, held at Duke University -
<http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/alice/aliceInSchools/workshop15/>
http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/alice/aliceInSchools/workshop15/

There may be others. For example, I'll be doing some PD for other teachers
in my area, on using Alice in the classroom, they will vary in length and
time, and although they aren't in your area, you may find some out there.

There is also a course called Getting Started with JAVA using Alice 3 at
Oracle Academy, and it's free.

I am reaching out to as many people as possible to find away to not attend a
2 week or a week long training that is only offered in the summer time. 

Have you heard any success from any online courses that are out there?  I
found 2 online courses and wanted to make sure that I am not being scammed.

I would greatly appreciate any advice as I am looking to order your book to
teach this course.
