alice-teacher Alice Newsletter and Release Updates

[Eric Brown]

Jennifer,

I apologize.  That is an oversight on our side.  When trying to quickly populate the new site we overlooked adding some files.  We will go back and insure all of the materials are up and available ASAP.  Thank you for pointing this out to us.   I am also going to start adding links to view only google doc versions of them in case people would prefer to use google docs and just make copies and edit and share that way.  

We are glad to hear you think they are helpful.  This is a good segue to remind everyone that we hope you make use of these materials and we are very open to feedback on any and all materials.   We are also very open to people sending us content they think we could review and repurpose to add to the site.

Sincerely,

Eric

> 1.  Alice 3.3.1 has been released - This is a minor release mostly in support of a new autosave functionality and the release of several new languages.  Special thanks to Oracle Academy and their network for their tremendous translation contributions.  Read more about it in the following blog post or the bullet point list in the release notes on the download page:

> 
> 2.  Alice 2 release coming soon - It has been a while and this build should have a bunch of bug fixes that many of you have been asking for.  We had wanted to release them both simultaneously but the Alice 2 build is still in the process of final testing though we hope to be promoting it soon.
> 
> 2.  New Audio Library and How Tos - We are wrapping up our summer internships over here and wanted to share a special thanks to our graduate students Jiaxin and Julian. Keep watch for an announcement of the release of some great new artwork, audio library tracks, and audio How To content very soon.
> 
> 3.  Importing Objects - We have been working on an import object pipeline for Alice 3 that we hope to bring to beta this fall.  Watch out for that release and for those interested a call for instructors willing to help us test that functionality.
> 
> 4.  AP CS Principles - I wanted to remind everyone that we have a second list-serve set up just for CS Principles teachers using Alice that I hope you all will use to share your work and ideas and ask for support.

> I will post more on this in an upcoming thread but wanted to share out that Art Lopez has a course based on Beth Simon’s work and they are both happy to share and give access to a wealth of materials to anyone interested.  You can contact Art at mr.arturo.lopez at gmail.com.  The available materials include an audited college board syllabus,  a course planning and pacing guide, a google drive folder packed full of materials to support the course including instructor notes, presentations, Beth’s curriculum cartridge associated with her book and Art’s current canvas course.
