Hi Don,<br>
<br>
I teach middle school technology (6-8th grades), I want to incorporate
Alice into my curriculum next year. So I was wondering if it would be
better for me to take Alice 2, Alice 3, or both. I'm a beginner and have
very little experience with Alice. <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Susan Stein<br>
