New Version of Alice - Alice 3.1.60

The new update of Alice is available now at http://www.alice.org/index.php?page=downloads/download_alice3.1
There are a few good changes in this version.
The new version has got new templates, more objects in the gallery with new arrangement. Vehicles, plants, more properties and animals are added in the gallery.
The procedures can now be grouped by category or sorted alphabetically. The functions also got the facility to group by category and return type, which I felt really useful.
You can now directly import  image files while setting up the scene and import audio while coding without going through the resource manager first. It will prompt you to select the audio or image as required.

I think much more will come soon!
Try the new version and share your views!

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 6^th -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.
