ALEX



Alabama Learning Exchanges (ALEX) is a site that offers many benefits to teachers, administrators and students. It is an easy site to access because you do not have to search for the topics you need. All the information is available in one site. The site offers a course of study which is laid out by subject and grade level. All of Alabama's course standards are shown and can be used as a reference from this site. Web links are available which offer helpful sites for teachers, administrators and students. Teachers can access this site and create lesson plans or view lessons plans to use in the class. Professional learning provides development opportunities for teaching and learning tools. Educational podcasts are available for download to use in the class. ALEX was created by the Alabama department of education to provide quality for learning.

I think that ALEX is a great tool to use as a teacher. The site offers many references that can aid a teacher for the class. For example, the podcasts available could go right along with the lesson plan to help the student understand the lesson. The way the course of study was laid out will be very helpful in making sure that everything that needs to be taught is covered. The fact that it keeps you up to date with the latest news is awesome as well. This one website can be accessed to view many different subjects or topics that come to mind. It is a one stop site to use as a reference.
