Alice As an Interdisciplinary Teaching Tool Presented by Craig Ham Technology Coordinator, US/MS Computer Teacher Westminster Schools, Augusta GA

What is Alice? Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a teaching tool for introductory computing. It uses 3D graphics and a drag- and-drop interface to facilitate a more engaging, less frustrating first programming experience. Free download

Who Can Use Alice? We will look at several examples provided by Duke University’s Alice Workshops Wait, what does Alice Look Like? Simple Program then …. Examples in MATH ENGLISH HISTORY SCIENCE

Where Did You Get This? All of the examples except the bunny were copied from the Duke University Repository for Alice Materials
