Abstract

During the 2008-09 school year, a group of secondary school teachers in a variety of subject areas implemented classroom lessons that employed the 3D storyboarding tool, Alice. [2] Based on feedback from multiple teachers in different subject areas, implementing Alice-based lessons appears to have a positive impact on student performance across all student abilities. This paper will share the results that support this possible effect and offer additional explanations for improved student performance.
