ALEX

ALEX stands for Alabama Learning Exchange. And it is definitely a place for exchange of teaching ideas and resources. Teachers can browse courses of study and gain access to web links and lesson plans specifically designed for their grade level. An ALEX account allows access to a personal workspace where a teacher can not only create lesson plans, but store and share them as well. There is an area for professional development where teachers can go to find the latest news on teaching including grants available.

ALEX is not just for teachers, but for students and parents as well. Students can find access to many web links organized by subject and grade level. There are tons of links offering fun learning activities, downloads, and information on many different topics. The student web link section is also a great place for parents to go to find supplemental learning activities for their children. There is truly an abundance of useful information on ALEX for teachers, students, and parents.

I found that very useful that teachers can not only create lesson plans but also store them for later use.
