Week 2 Blog 1

ALEX stands for the Alabama Learning Exchange. ALEX is a program that was created by the Alabama Department of Education. It is a website... a one-stop resource for teachers, parents and students. Resources include lesson plans, websites and interactive activities. ALEX is an ongoing project. It improves as more information is added.

The Courses of Study link allows you to view lesson plans and goals for specific age groups for the course you will be teaching. The Web Links link takes you to a list of helpful web links. The Lesson Plans link allows you to enter your own lesson plans or view the lesson plans of other educators. The Personal Workspace link allows you to create your own workspace. The Distance Learning link takes you to ACCESS, which provides activities and courses for your students that may not be available at your school. The Professional Learning link provides you with resources that will help you provide your students with the best possible education.

My father is a homebound teacher for Mobile County. ALEX has been a great well of information for him. I know it will be for me too.
