OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SUCH LEARNED TEACHERS
GSWA – OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SUCH LEARNED TEACHERS .
LUCKNOW REGION – TGT ( Eng) KV
IIM ,TGT (Maths) KV GOMTINAGAR, PGT(Hindi) KV AMC
First of all Thanks to Ms Kamal Peter for
giving us the opportunity to facilitate GSWA . It was a great experience when
we introduced Alice to the teachers specially TGT Maths/TGT(Eng.) – They compared
thinkquest with Alice , but thought Alice is more helpful as- it is offline with
3D effects. They showed interest like students when we told them the story
of great Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. How should we upload a picture of him and create a story by adding other characters. Soon enough they caught onto the idea and tried to add more Indian geniuses thus, creating their own stories.Some of the teachers created stories in alice world in minimum time, efforts like those were remarkable.
All teachers showed interest to learn Alice and support us . GSWA training is targeted towards 6th -12 th grade teachers- Teachers can integrate the Alice 3.1 into their FA2/FA4 and their students can apply Alice into different projects. Alice can be integrated into : social studies, mathematics, language-hindi ,english , science, technology, business, studies , music, art & more.

MY EXPERIMENTS AS AN ALICE FACILITATORS
Friends,I loved promoting Alice to the colleagues at the in service course at T.G.T Science course at Kanjikode Kerala.I think I and Mujib sir were so engrossed in doing everything just the right way that we both forgot to click any pictures.
It was a learning,pleasure and confidence gained.
I saw teachers cheered like a small children on being able to move objects and follow procedures to be able to manipulate objects and looking forward to make stories for the classroom.They looked forward to learn more and each one of them expressed desire to learn it completely and use it C.C.E....Teachers were requesting to take Alice for the whole day as it was something new to learn for them and also they could see lot fo potentials in the software
I thanks Mrs.Kamal Peter for giving me an opportunity to explore Alice and myself and an opportunity to see how it Alice and me can team up in the classroom and create a pleasurable experience for the learners.

Java error while starting Alice3 - Solution
I have faced the following problem when I tried to run Alice 3 in one computer running Windows XP at one of the venues where I conducted the workshop. I am sharing it as it may be helpful to some of our friends who might have faced same problem.
Problem:
When you double click on the Alice 3 shortcut, a command window opens saying "java isn't recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file" install java.
Solution:
Right click on My Computer select properties and click on Advanced tab.
You will find a button environment variables at the bottom. Click on it and under system variable edit path variable to add the path to the bin directory under java folder (eg. C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin). Do not remove the other values in the path variable box, just add this at the end after the last semi colon ( ; )
The same may happen in Windows Vista and 7 and the solution is the same.

GSWA KV No.1 Mangalore and KV Kanjikode
GSWA was conducted at the Inservice Courses for TGT Science at KV Kanjikode (23 participants and 4 resource persons attended) and TGT Maths at KV No.1 Mangalore (32 participants and 2 resource persons attended).
The experience was wonderful. Participants at both venues enjoyed 'playing' with Alice, though they were a little bit skeptical about whether they will be able to continue after the workshop.
Animation created by one of the participants Mr. Vijay Kumar, TGT Maths KV Surya Lanka, Guntur. He has used a procedure swim as shown below. A simple procedure, but he has used the concepts of procedure, vehicle, do together, camera etc. effectively for a beginner.
The next one was made by Mr. Murthy, KV Kanchanbagh. He has used a very simple procedure to make this group Mass PT, the idea which all liked and successfully made in to a variety of animations.
More practice would have helped the participants at both venues to learn more.

Our
only suggestion is that the first time an Alice project is saved, use Save As instead of Save.
