ALICE

Alice is a teaching tool for introductory computing and for teaching problem solving and sequencing skills. This downloadable software offers an innovative 3-D 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. It uses 3-D graphics and a drag-and-drop interface to facilitate a more engaging, less frustrating first programming experience. Alice is a teaching tool designed as a revolutionary approach to teaching and learning introductory programming concepts. The Alice team has developed instructional materials to support students and teachers in using this new approach. Resources include textbooks, lessons, sample syllabuses, test banks, and more.
