Alice: tutorial presentation
Steve Cooper · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2008
This introductory workshop, designed for instructors with minimal to no prior experience with Alice, offers hands-on experience programming with Alice. Alice is a powerful program visualization tool enabling students to see objects and work with object-oriented programming. Participants will learn how to use Alice to build virtual worlds and how to use this approach in introductory-level computing courses (introductory programming for majors, programming for non-majors, computer literacy, pre-AP CS, etc.) at the college or high-school level. Time permitting, we may work briefly with Alice 2.2 (which allows students to save their work as Quicktime(tm) videos, suitable for uploading to youtube), and possibly get a sneak peak at Alice 3.0 (which comes with characters from the Sims and allows for programming in Java).
