Teacher Lesson Plans from workshops 2008, 2011 and 2012.
Teacher Lesson Plans
These lesson plans were developed by teachers attending the summer 2008, 2011 and 2012 Alice workshops at Duke University which were the two-week and three-week workshops. We currently have funding through 2015 for two-week workshops each summer and will continue to update this page each year with new teacher lesson plans that have been developed.
NOTE about downloading Alice worlds. Most likely your computer does not know what an Alice world file is, with extention .a2w. If the Alice world you download is called story.a2w, your computer may think it is a .zip file and rename it to story.zip or story.a2w.zip. DO NOT unpack it or extract files, but instead rename it back to story.a2w. If you cannot figure out how to rename it, then you can leave it with the .zip extension. Start Alice and when you try to load a file, where it says "Files of Type:", select All Files. Then you can see story.zip there.
