alice-teacher Which Alice for children of which years

[Mulville, Nancy]

Hi everyone,

I am brand new to teaching a Computer Science course.  My background is secondary mathematics though so I am hoping that helps.  I will be using version 3.2.5 in an "Introduction to Computer Programming" course for grades 9-12.  My hope is to use Alice for the first half of the year and then to transition to Java during the second half.

Can anyone share how they assess the students when using Alice?  Are just projects used or is it also helpful to have some traditional testing?

Thanks to all for sharing their ideas so far.

Dear teachers,

I'd like to figure out which alice (2, 3) do you teach for which years of children?

Thanks

Matjaz
