<div dir="ltr">Hi Don,<div><br></div><div>I'm curious about the difference between Alice 3.1 and 2.4. I teach elementary school and started my 5th graders on 2.4 in January. Should I be looking into learning, then teaching 3.1 for next year? I've been told they are very different programs. I have no programming background, but took Dr. Cooper's great two-week 2.4 workshop this summer.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Helene</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 9:55 AM, Don Slater <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dslater@andrew.cmu.edu" target="_blank">dslater@andrew.cmu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Carol,<div>I would first look at updating your video drivers: <a href="http://alice3.pbworks.com/w/page/54959364/Updating%20Video%20Drivers" target="_blank">http://alice3.pbworks.com/w/page/54959364/Updating%20Video%20Drivers</a></div><div><br></div><div>and if you are working with PC’s, you might adjust your hardware acceleration: <a href="http://alice3.pbworks.com/w/page/86674945/Adjusting%20Hardware%20Acceleration" target="_blank">http://alice3.pbworks.com/w/page/86674945/Adjusting%20Hardware%20Acceleration</a></div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,</div><div><br></div><div>All the best,</div><div>Don Slater</div><div><div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-auto;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;word-wrap:break-word"><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-auto;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;word-wrap:break-word"><span style="border-collapse:separate;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;border-spacing:0px"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="border-collapse:separate;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;border-spacing:0px"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="border-collapse:separate;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;border-spacing:0px"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="border-collapse:separate;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;border-spacing:0px"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div><br></div><div>Alice Team</div><div>Carnegie Mellon University</div><div>5000 Forbes Avenue</div><div>Pittsburgh, PA 15213</div><div><br></div><div>Email: <a href="mailto:don@alice.org" target="_blank">don@alice.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.<br>--- Henry David Thoreau</div></div><div><br></div><div>The true object of all human life is play. -- G.K.
