How College Professors Are Using Twitter to Re-Engage Their Students

How College Professors Are Using Twitter to Re-Engage Their Students | 21st Century Tools for Teaching-People and Learners | Scoop.it
In today's college classrooms the sound of furious note-scribbling has been replaced by clacking on keyboards and tapping on tablets. Thanks to the ubiquity of WiFi on campuses, it's not just note-taking that's been given a 21st-century update.

Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment

Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment | 21st Century Tools for Teaching-People and Learners | Scoop.it

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.

Mel Wruck's curator insight, June 13, 2013 12:45 AM

Alice is an introduction to object-orientated programming that makes coding appealing to young people. Students can test the programs while they create them and watch the sprites change as they manipulate the blocks statements. This tool is recommend for children from 8 years of age. A number of worlds can be created in Alice to incorporate mathematics. Two that I have found to be great examples are Ice Cream Functions and Toy Story discounts. Also provides an opportuniny for introducting the concept of 3D shapes.
