Laurie
I am a CSI Educator from Kansas.  Has any progress been made in setting up
Alice to run on a Chromebook (which my students have)? My IT does not want
to get into Linux.  I am using Scratch as an introduction for Middle School
students to programming logic and I would like to step up to Alice to
continue that concept.
