Information about the ALEX Website

The Alabama Learning Exchange also known as ALEX is a website that provides great information for teachers. To access this website follow this link: ALEX website. Examples of resources available to teachers on this website include courses of study, lesson plans, web links, and search engines. The courses of studies that can be found on the ALEX website include English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Arts Education, Career/Technical Education, Foreign Languages, Physical Education, Technology Education, Driver and Traffic Safety Education, and Health Education. For each topic covered in the course of study list, you can select a grade level, and the ALEX website will provide you with a curriculum and the objectives you will need to cover as a teacher in the grade level you selected. When looking for lesson plans on the ALEX website, you can search using a subject and a grade level. Each lesson plan provides you with a list of the materials you will need to teach the lesson and step-by-step directions for how you will teach the lesson. The web links resource available on the ALEX website includes teacher web links, administrator web links, and student web links, and the web links can be searched for using different subjects.

All of the resources provided on the ALEX website in my opinion are extremely useful. For new teachers, it is not always an easy task to create your own lesson plans for the entire year, so having access to other lesson plans is a great tool. Through the ALEX website teachers can find creative ideas and techniques for teaching lessons on all subjects. The courses of studies are also very important and useful for new teachers. The courses of studies helps new teachers create an outline of the objectives they are required to cover throughout the school year. The teachers can use the course of studies to determine what each lesson they teach needs to cover.
