ALEX

Alabama Learning Exchange(ALEX) is a useful tool that all teachers in the state of Alabama can benefit from. First, in order to view this site, one should go to http://alex.state.al.us Once you are on this site life can get simple for a teacher, especially a new one. One of the first things that you will see on this site is a Course of Study. By clicking on this icon or link, teachers have the ability to choose their subject area. If there are any subtopics in one's particular area, this site basically lists them all. For example, if I was on this site I would click on career and technical education. At that point, nearly every subject area that is related to this particular field comes on display. All you simply have to do is to pick which particular field that you want to focus on and select it. It's that simple. This site also contains Web Resources for teachers, administrators and students. There is also a Personal Workshop icon which allows for the storage and submission of lesson plans and teacher web pages. Also included is a Professional Learning page which can be useful for any teacher or administrator who want some professional development training. Hopefully, anyone who reads this post will find this information useful.
