alice-teacher Trim your posts!!

[Melia, James E.]

Suki-

I agree............ I didn't realize we should trim our posts..........

I didn't mean to create a stir, and Agree with what has been said. Don will forward emails directly.

The group requesting this disc has one thing in common- we are all first time users. Like myself, it took a little while to find my way. I had trouble finding a comprehensive "first " unit that included worksheets, tests, video tutorials for skill progressions, etc. I suggested to Don that they create a NEW USERS CLICK HERE button on the Alice website, and provide some resources that address this issue. What is remarkable is the number of first time users who are introducing this program to their school or district.

As my own class moves through this unit, I have some conditional programming questions that I need to post, but need to figure out what the true question is first. I also don't think I have fully comprehended the difference between events and methods, and when/ how to use an event. Does this make it sound obvious that I am a new user???????????????

Jim

Hi everybody,

I'm guessing some of you are newbies at being on mailing lists. There is a refrain you will hear often. Please read it and understand it: Trim Your Posts! Those of us reading on digest have basically stopped reading this week because you all are forwarding all the whole digest to the rest of us over and over and over and over. We're exhausted, OK? So please, just quote the relevant piece and delete the rest. In my mailer (Apple Mail) I just select the part I want quoted and when I then hit "reply," only the selected text is included in my message. (See below for example.)

BTW, I agree with the poster below. There has been lots of interesting information on this list, but the last couple of weeks it's been buried.
