All about ALEX

Oh how wonderful today's technology is. The state of Alabama has formed a website for teachers and students. This website is such a wonderful tool to know about. It can save you time, and ease the day to day process of being a teacher or student. This wonderful tool is the website for the Alabama Learning Exchange which is available at www.alex.state.al.us.

The website is broken down into categories so that you don't spend thirty minutes finding what you are looking for. If you want to find something contained in the Alabama Course of Study, it is right there online, so you won't have to spend endless time searching through the paper copy of it. There is a tool on there that provides a place for you to create and save lesson plans, also a place to see sample lesson plans. This site is just so creative.

Students can access the website also. They can go to different subjects and search for whatever they may need help with. There are also an enormous amount of web links available on the website.

There are many other areas available on ALEX. The website is easy to navigate and has so much useful information. I know as a current student and a future teacher, I will use this website an awful lot.
