This is a complete, zipped version of the Alice package, not an installer, and so you can unzip the file to a flash drive, and then copy the unzipped directory onto the student machines (it really does not matter where are the machine you put the package.)</div><div><br></div><div>Depending on the goals of your course and the experience you want to provide for your students, you may want to consider using Alice 2.4.1, currently available at <a href="http://www.alice.org">www.alice.org</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>There is confusion about the differences between Alice 2 and Alice 3, and we have not done a very good job of clarifying what the differences are. Unlike traditional software version numbering (where Word 11 is the upgrade to Word 10), Alice 3 is not an upgrade to Alice 2, but a tool that is intended for a different audience than Alice 2.</div><div><br></div><div>Alice 2 is a tool designed to introduce students without previous programming experience to fundamental programming concepts. </div><div><br></div><div>Alice 3 is a tool designed to introduce students without previous programming experience to fundamental programming concepts with an emphasis on the transition to Java.</div><div><br></div><div>If you are not taking your students into Java, Alice 2 is probably a better choice at this time, as it is more stable than Alice 3, and there is a greater and wider set of support instructional materials.</div><div><br></div><div>All the best,</div><div>Don Slater</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 27, 2014, at 11:34 PM, kentg <<a href="mailto:kentg@earthlink.net">kentg@earthlink.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><font><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="4">Hi<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>I am trying to install Alice 3.1 in my Middle School classroom for my computer Science Class but I have not been able to get it to install on either the online or offline options.<br><br>We have a pretty fast wireless network and we have two gigs of RAM in our PC’s.
