alice-teacher Resources for exam questions?

[James Vanderhyde]

Beth, I don't know if you received any replies to this question. I had  
asked the same question about printing in black and white at an Alice  
meeting at SIGCSE last year. I've tried out a few tips I received and  
tried a few ideas of my own:
1. Use the snow world template and change the atmosphere color to  
white (no color).
2. After you take your screenshot, increase the contrast using an  
imaging program (I use Preview on Mac).
3. Use the photocopier's "photo" rather than "text" setting.
