The Alice team has came out with a royalty-free sound library that you can use in the animations. On the page there's also a link so that  you can create your own sounds that are compatible with Alice.

A Report On Workshop

The training programme(Workshop) for the Master Trainers of Pune, Bhopal and Hyderabad regions was organised by Oracle Academy in association with NVS, Head Qtrs on “ Getting Started with Alice” from September 11, 2012 to September 13, 2012 at JNV East Godavari. The location chosen for the workshop was very good. I felt that I was dwelling in the lap of nature. The buildings of the JNV East Godavari are surrounded by tall trees of various kinds. The campus of the JNV looks like a master piece of an artist. The coputer lab of the JNV, where we were being trained, is very good. All the systems are connected with high speed broadband connectivity.

I reached JNV East Godavari, which located in Peddapuram(AP), on September 10, 2012. We were accommodated in a hotel in Peddapuram since Regional meet of Badminton was going on. The workshop started from the morning of 11^th September.

Our trainers were Ms.Kamal Peter and Ms.Madhurya from Oracle Academy. They had explicitly explained how the software “Alice” is useful to create animations as per the need of the students and the teacher. They had also demonstrated how the software works and we were also informed about the functions the software is having.

On the first day, the software “Alice” was introduced to the trainees by Ms.Kamal Peter. M’m explained that the software is having four main handles to operate an image in a scene. The main handles of the software are: default, rotation, translation and resize. Each of the tools mentioned here do have their various functions to edit a picture in a scene. We were also told that the “Alice” is having a methods panel which includes procedures, functions and properties through which we can assign functions and procedures to an object in a scene.

On second day, we were taught how to give motion(movement) to an object and how to spin an object in a scene. Thereafter, the participants were informed as to how the camera markers are used to change scenes in a single panel. We were taught as to how we can change colour of the scene and how we can add opacity to an object and to the entire scene. After all the information was given, the participants were divided into nine groups and were assigned to work on a project of their choice. All the participants worked very hard and learnt so many things about the software by trial and error method.

On third day, participants were informed about as to how use key board controls. Thereafter presentation of the participants of their prepared project was started. After the presentation was over, valedictory function was organised and the workshop concluded on a good note.

In a nutshell, I must say that the workshop was very useful for all of us, and if it is used by all the teachers effectively, they can create wonders and   teaching learning process will definitely be effective.
