ALEX

ALEX, or the Alabama Learning Exchange was created by the Alabama Department of Education. It is a program that has helpful resources for parents, students, and teacher. There are some good resources for teachers. The first one is the Alabama Course of Study. Teachers are able to access this to help them to make sure they cover all skills that should be covered in each subject they teach. It is divided by grade level. This could also be helpful for students and parents to make sure that the teachers are covering what they should.

Another resource that ALEX has is Weblinks. Links to websites are available to parents, teachers, and students on almost any topic. Teachers can use this to find information to include in lesson plans. Studens can use this to find information for projects and reports. Parents can use this to look up things that their child is studying so that they can help them. Podcasts are another resource that ALEX has that can benefit parents, teachers and students in the same way.

Lesson plans are another resource that ALEX has. Teachers can find lesson plans to use in their classroom and can share their lesson plans with other teachers. This is one of the best features of ALEX for teachers. It allows teachers to collaborate with one another and benefit from the experiences of other teachers.

I think that this site is very useful for parents, teachers and students. I wish that my parents and I had been able to use this when I was in school. It would have been great to have when doing projects. I am happy to see that Alabama provides such great resources to their teachers and students. I think that I am most excited (as a future teacher) about the lesson plans available on ALEX.
