alice-teacher Alice Workshops Open For Registration

Wed May 3 16:40:16 EDT 2017

Everyone,
Thank you for your interest in Alice, and particularly in the interest in an online workshop.

We have been brainstorming an online Alice 3 workshop, but as of yet do not have anything that we are ready to deploy for the summer.

We will keep you posted...

All the best,
Don Slater

For those of you new to the community that would like more training on Alice we are happy to announce our workshop line-up for this summer.  For the advanced users out there feel free to share this with people you think could benefit from some time to get to know Alice.  This year we are changing from our usual approach of an Alice 2 week and then an Alice 3 week in favor of a new approach.  This year we will start with an Alice 3 Intro workshop that will give more time with the basics and should be at a pace that makes it easier for teachers new to CS teaching and completely new to Alice.  We will follow this with an Alice 3 to Java workshop that while still accessible to novices will be intended to move at a slightly faster pace insuring more time can be spent on the transition to Java and use of Alice to Netbeans with a look at the new Alice 3 to Java book.  If you have any questions feel free to reach out.  I am also reposting the Duke workshop that I believe is in Alice 2 in case you are looking for an Alice 2 workshop specifically so that you have options.  Finally if you know of any other Alice workshops happening around the country be sure to share them us as we would love to help promote them.

Working with nationally recognized experts in Alice 3, a tool developed at Carnegie Mellon, teachers in this workshop will learn how to use the Alice 3 programming environment for teaching fundamental programming concepts. We will also explore how Alice 3 can be used in multi-disciplinary courses and projects, discuss the development and implementation of curriculum, mapping to standards, and explore the support materials available to teachers for use with Alice.

The participants should have a basic understanding of fundamental programming concepts and some familiarity with a traditional programming language. Experience with Alice would be helpful, but the workshop will include time spent becoming familiar with the Alice 3 programming environment.  This background in computer science concepts and/or some familiarity with Alice is not required but is intended to enable the group to move rapidly through the basics of the Alice IDE and early CS concepts to enable more time looking at the Alice 3 tools that support students as they transition from block-based coding to a traditional programming language (Java). We will also discuss and explore curriculum, standards, and the support materials available, including the new Alice 3 to Java textbook.

This is a free workshop with funds for lodging and a small stipend. Continuing education credits are also provided.  Preference is given to NC teachers, though we always include a few teachers from other states.
