alice-teacher A small gift from Europe

[Don Slater]

Hi,

I'm sending a picture from the Slovenia Education Fair, where I represent and demonstrate Alice under the Slovenian Union for Technical Culture of Youth, covered by Slovenian Ministry for Educational, Science and Sport. I've got a full support from the Union, so they're inviting me where is possible. Next week we are going to make a plan to make an Alice contest in springtime.

I still have a promise to send Don our project concerning Alice asap.

Yours Sincerely,
Matjaz Marussig

I've put all together here http://cloudy-school.net/  and maybe it'll be nice to put this link in some thread to Alice communtiy http://www.alice.org/community/index.php, perhaps in General duscusion? I'll be glad to get your suggest.

Right now, I made a little timeout with Alice and started to learn them Sculptris. Sculptris give them a free way to create their own imaginary, and after this we are going to put our creatures in Alice to make them alive. As I understand all this means a more, more wider curricul as I thought.
