Alice 2.3

After using the computer program Alice 2.3 I have a new appreciation for computer game designers. It was a very interesting program with a lot of potential but not worth the time it takes to create something. I spent two weeks trying to create a game that I could use in my classroom  and the best I could come up with was a short game to teach kids their right from left. If we had a year to spend figuring out every little thing about Alice 2.3 and how to use it to its full potential than maybe I could see the benefit of it, but as a teacher just starting out I don't think the Alice program will be one that I use in my classroom.
