Article on Alice.Org and Computer Programming

I found this great article that talks about how Alice is being used with middle schools and high schools to get students more interested in computers. There was a study done that showed that this program improved grades of students in computer classes and made them want to take additional courses in this area. Think about the benefits of utilizing a program like this into other subject areas. Children can use this as a form of digital storytelling as well as computer programming.
