alice-teacher Alice Summer Workshop

Mon Apr 30 13:00:29 EDT 2018

Joe,
There are not any advanced Alice 3 workshops planned at this time, but we are starting to investigate the possibility of online webinars of some sort. Trying to figure out the logistics.

We will keep you posted...

All the best,

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 attached set of Powerpoint slides should show how how to build an array structure in Alice and how to use the ?for? each? and the ?each ? in together? data structures use for manipulating elements in the arrays.
