We've been using Alice 2 for several years as part of a mandatory course at Georgia College.  When Alice 3 was released we discussed it and decided to stay with Alice 2 because it was more oriented to teaching non computer science majors ".. logical and computational thinking skills and fundamental principles of programming. " (from Alice.org).  And because there was a dearth of teaching materials for Alice 3. That is not such a factor now, but I still feel that Alice 3 has a steeper learning curve than Alice 2

Hello,

Our high school is considering starting a class in the Fall on learning how
to use Alice. Do you recommend starting with Alice 2 or 3?

Thank you,
Marcia
