Fantastic Alice Games

My Programming 1 class has been working very hard on writing a game using Alice. The creativity in the classroom has been fantastic all week. I love when we get good enough to really write a program that is unique, interesting and fun!

Today, we'll be using this link to vote for our favorite Alice Game.

After seeing them and voting, please feel free to comment here about your experiences with writing your game or about some other person's game that you admire. Even if your favorite did not win the class vote, which did you like the best?

What is your answer to the Alice Review packet

My Programming 1 class will be doing a review packet on a program we've been learning called Alice. As we do the packet, students will follow this link to record their answers to each question. That way every student will have the chance to think through the questions for themselves and to vote anonymously.

You can also do this with cellphone text messaging.

Did you enjoy this way of review for an exam? What pros/cons does it have over more traditional ways of reviewing in class?
