Alice Storytelling

I'm curious if any districts are using Alice Storytelling and if so how? It is the Middle School spin-off of Alice.org and geared just for printing out story-boards or creating 3D animated story, no gaming aspect such as Scratch.

However, it is just for Windows but we're starting to use it on our Mac's w/ Bootcamp.

Here is an example... http://cyber-kap.blogspot.com/2009/02/alice-storytelling.html

Thanks!!

To those of you who are using Alice Storytelling in the classroom, do you have examples of how you've used it that you could link to? I'm a teacher-in-training right now and would like to use your examples as part of a technology assignment; it looks like an interesting tool!

We'll have stuff posted in about a month, we are just starting the project now but are following this kind of format:
Week 1 - go over Storytelling tutorials and let kids "play/learn" the program
Week 2 - the kids will come in w/ their story boards and create their project
Week 3-4 - will convert their stories to a movie and bring over to our Mac's and let them edit/add soundtrack in iMovie and the upload to the web

View my blog for a very brief example of what I'm referring to http://cyber-kap.blogspot.com/2009/02/alice-storytelling.html

We just finished our huge 8th grade project using Alice Storytelling, here is a sneak peek of an example... http://www.greendale.k12.wi.us/kapuler_d/Alice/muzenski.mov

The actual process to get this up on the web to view was quite tricky, I had to use Jing to capture the Alice Project, in Windows (using Mac's running Bootcamp). Then it saved to a SWF file. So, I took that file into the Mac Partition and used Screen Flow to capture it again and convert it to a .mov file, so now it is in Quicktime. The students then put it in iMovie to add a sound track and re-export it as a Quicktime - web movie.

Fun stuff!!!
