alice-teacher Alice 3.1 moving objects

[Helene Moore]

Hi Don,

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.

Thank you,
Helene
