Teacher Lesson Plans from Alice Workshop 2008
These lesson plans were developed by teachers attending the summer 2008 Alice workshop at Duke University. They are continuing to submit lesson plans.
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.
