alice-teacher Alice Course Materials

[Tamara Mazza]

I am a Middle School Teacher who only uses Alice 2.  I was instructed that
using Alice 3, although more fun, can confuse students if they plan to take
the Computer Science AP exam in High School.

So with that information I only teach Alice 2.   Have Fun!
