Alice is a new program that is offered by Carnegie Mellon University to be down loaded for free. The program is manageable for students to navigate through and can be an alternate avenue for students to give a visual example of a story that they have written or read. This program is a spin off of Sims but is a little bit more low tech and not as developed.
I have had the opportunity to work with a student on this program and it is very interesting and fun. It does take a long time to produce a product that can explain a story or give a visual representation of a writing piece.
I do not think that I will use this program due to the individual attention that I would need to give each one of the praticiapating students.
If you have any suggestions of sites that would be more comprehensive to my class and my personal need please let me know!
