Alice 2.3 in computational thinking

Alice 2.3 is a computer progaming gaming system to help develop games for the learning community. In my computer applications for educations we had to develop a game or little video for a class of our choosing. Of course I chose High School English. I developed a game where you must answer the riddle correctly to defeat the dragon. This will lead to a lesson about riddles and complicated word problems with simple answers. Then students will create their own riddle to present to the class. Working with alice 2.3 was a bit complicated you have to get camera angles right and also correct movement. I might use this program in my future class but maybe after a holiday because I will need alot of time to create a successful game.

Through the looking glass

I want to become a Highschool english teacher. While being whipped into shape for teaching my classmates and I had to look up a society we just might join in the future to benefit the future learning enviornment. I decided to choose National Council of Teachers of English. One of the reason is because they have online disscusions to share ideas on how to enhance learning in english. Also to help graduate students they host a summer confrence with ineractive workshops and mentoring to help you to become a great teacher. Another great aspect of this orginazation is they show all the job oppertunites for english teachers around the country  to help those who cannot find a job in their school district.
