alice-teacher Alice 3.9 Updates

[Melanie Lam]

Hi Alice educators,

Please let your IT departments know there is an update for Alice 3. Or
perhaps you are the teacher and IT department all rolled in one. In any
case, we wanted to get this release out before the new school year.

The prices for some VR headsets have come down as new fangled ones are
released. Hopefully, this means VR hardware is a little more accessible to
your programs.

We have also piloted a streaming (browser) version of Alice 3 using a
service called Cameyo. Cameyo was recently acquired by Google. If you are
interested in trying it out, please reach out to me.  This is an option
that works well with 1:1 Chromebook programs. However, the downside is the
cost of hosting and serving, something that your districts may have to work
out in terms of budget.

As some of you may have discovered, the Alice.org website has been
experiencing technical difficulties.  We are working to resolve it but in
the meantime, I have tried to streamline the process for downloading new
updates. You can find everything directly on our Github Page:

I hope you all have a rejuvenating summer!

Melanie
