ALEX, or Alabama Learning Exchange, is a web-based interactive resource tool that is utilized by teachers as well as students and parents. ALEX lists different courses of study from English to Physical Education to Driver and Traffic Safety. When you click on one of the subjects it then narrows the search to include a certain grade level of education, and lists specific subjects under the specified heading. For example, if you clicked on science, the grades and different subjects such as biology or zoology will be listed. ALEX also has many web-links to other areas that could be helpful to educators, parents, or students that include the Alabama Department of Education Initiatives, Special Education, and Library Media/Information Literacy. Not only does it offer lesson plans for educators in all subjects, it also allows the students and teachers to use distance learning in the instance that advanced classes and electives are limited at a certain institution of learning. This distance learning is called ACCESS, or Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide. You can learn much, much more about either of these programs and other ways to enhance you or your child's learning experience, or as an educator learn new and innovative ways to enhance your teaching skills.
I am very glad that I am aware of all the great options available to teachers through ALEX. It will be a great way to interact with different educators about lesson plans and a good way to make sure that you, as an educator, is on the same page with other teachers in the state. I hope to utilize the web-site and as manyof the options for learning and educating as pertains to my field.
