Comment by Bryan Hilton on September 24, 2009 at 11:24am - Just downloaded Alice, does anybody have any formal lesson plans as to how to use this in class. I have tried it today but I am a little unsure as to the best way to use this program.

If you go by the information on the website it looks like they are on schedule for a summer release in 2009. This release will be Alice 3.0. I hope it all goes as scheduled.

- @kelley I have never tried the storytelling version. Does it look much different? Does it seem more kid friendly?

- Alice 3.0 due out this summer. Check out the new look/animation. You won't be able to keep kids off of it.

- I should add that we are on Macs and there are some limitations. Sound recording is sketchy for one. However, it is good enough for what we try and do with it. Alice is a little advanced for sixth graders but try telling them that! Has anyone ever tried Storytelling Alice? It won't run on anything but Windows but is geared for the MS student.
