ALICE PROGRAM.

Click here.

What is Alice?

Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student's first exposure to object-oriented programming. It allows students to learn fundamental programming concepts in the context of creating animated movies and simple video games. In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects.

In Alice's interactive interface, students drag and drop graphic tiles to create a program, where the instructions correspond to standard statements in a production oriented programming language, such as Java, C++, and C#. Alice allows students to immediately see how their animation programs run, enabling them to easily understand the relationship between the programming statements and the behavior of objects in their animation. By manipulating the objects in their virtual world, students gain experience with all the programming constructs typically taught in an introductory programming course.

INTRICT ENTRY 4

INTRICT Job Clippings Entry. June 4 08

• Most IT (Information Technology) companies/ job employers hire applicants with "Java" experience and knowledge of other languages/server applications.
• ICTM Professionals are also called "Masters of Technology" so they are given more job offers than other courses in my opinion.
• Computer knowledge + Management skills are taught to the ICTM students hoping that someday, they will be "Masters of Technology".

Some companies/employers would require different non-technical skills depending on the job. If you are just a Java programmer, you won't need communication skills because your responsibility is just to program and not to talk. This applies to other jobs.

I have all the non-technical skills needed but I still need to hone these skills to be qualified.

Of course, computer-related courses are needed to get into these jobs.

Responsibilities/Job Details Sources:

• Web Designer/Programmer
• Java Developer
• System Developer
• Java Programmer
• Software Engineer
• System Analyst
• System Programmer
• Software Engineer
• Junior Database Administrator
• IS Programmer
• Software Developer

INTRICT ENTRY 2

June 02 2008

Thoughts to ponder after the 1st week of sessions in INTRICT


1. Where else I can maximize Google and its applications for my work in INTRICT?

• Faster and more reliable Search Engine.
• FREE (yes...FREE. Let me type it one more time.. FREE.) SMS Text Reminder to your phone. Forgot that today is your 98th monthsary or a test in INTRICT? with Google, that's never gonna happen! :D
  
• Shared Document Editing with other Google users. Away from your group but you still want to help your classmate with a group work or assignment and sabotage it after? Then use Google! (haha!)
  
• Chat purposes. Just like YM. :D

2. What are other online applications out there that similarly support my activities as a student?

• Yahoo Messenger - File Sending, Announcements, Chat.
• Multiply - Blogging, Pictures for Assignments.

3. What exactly do I mean about productivity? How is productivity related to technology?

• You don't just stare at your technology thingy. You make a happy, meaningful and productive relationship with it. Being productive with your technology, you make full use of it; making full use of it means that it's worth the money you spent for.

4. What Can I suggest to my parents to also improve their productivity?

• Everything I use productively = Yahoo, Google, Multiply and other online applications.

i would if only they want, at this time... they don't want to hang out with technology much so they stick to Yahoo! Mail. Haha.

So, there.
