ALEX

The Alabama Learning Exchange or ALEX website is a very useful website for teachers, administrators and students. It allows you to access courses of study by grade level or keywords. The website gives Alabama Content Standards for each subject and gives the appropriate grade level for each field of study. It offers grant opportunities, professional development, training and tips and tricks for teachers. Distance learning or web based courses with audio and visual content is also a great opportunity on this website.

One of the greatest aspects of this website is that it allows you to review and research other teachers' lesson plans to help you in creating your own lesson plans. It also gives you ideas about possible activities and study guides to use in your classroom.

The ALEX website is very helpful to new and old teachers alike. It is a great resource for new teachers because it gives ideas on how to teach your students. It can even be useful to veteran teachers because it can give them new, contemporary ideas to try. I will definitely use this website when I begin my teaching career.
