Alabama Learning Exchange, or ALEX, is a great tool for teacher resources. ALEX offers courses of study, which is basically a lesson plan in a subject to help teachers organize what their students may need to be learning according to their grade level. They offer courses ranging from Language Arts to Driver & Traffic Safety Education. ALEX offers web resources. This section is set up in different tabs according to students, teachers, and administrators and offers great website links. ALEX allows you to create lesson plans and access lesson plans by title, author, or even school. ALEX is great for collaborating. If you create a personal workspace, you can submit your lesson plans for others to see and share ideas. Tutorials and Alabama Department of Education Program Websites are available. There is also a page called Podcast Treasury that has downloads, content, and links for resources. ALEXville allows you to access other resources such as their blog. There is even a search tab to look up things faster on the site.
I think that it is great that something like this exists. Some people are not as lucky as we are to be able to collaborate with others and have access to websites and lesson plans and blogs. ALEX makes it easier for future educators to feel like they are not alone in this journey we call education. I think resources like ALEX will help me tremendously as a teacher.
