ALEX

The Alabama Learning Exchange or "ALEX" is a free database of information and lesson plans that can be viewed by teachers, students, and administrators. This is really neat because all the lesson plans are put on the site by other teachers. ALEX offers many different tools that an individual can choose from to get the information that they are looking for. ALEX offers many courses of study, from English and Math to Physical Education and Drivers Ed. Someone can do a search in ALEX and narrow their information down because if that information is on ALEX, its going to be good info. Another tool that is available, which is very interesting , is distant learning. Distant learning is very useful for a student that needs to take a class to receive advanced diploma or advanced placement credits and that specific class is actually not offered at that individuals school. That students can go through ACCESS and take a course through the multimedia technology at a different school that offers that course.
I really think that ALEX is a very useful tool for teachers because it gives them successful lesson plans that are put on the net by other teachers. I think that in the future I could definitely use ALEX to help better my teaching methods.
