alice-teacher Online gallery objects

[Don Slater]

Try using a different web browser for downloading the objects. .a2w and .a2c files are actually a compressed file format, and some browsers, recognizing this, can be two helpful and try to work with them as if they are .zip files. The "Download and Save As…" option (by right-clicking on the link) may also work.

All the best,

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.

However, the connection will not work, whilst in the program, as we are on a network and I think it has something to do with proxies and permissions.  Therefore I have gone directly to the website through the ie and downloaded the various objects into the local gallery.  However, most of them are *.zip files and when I unzip them – they won’t work in the Alice program.  There doesn’t even seem to be any *a2c files there.  Please help.
