ALEX stands for the Alabama Learning Exchange and is very easy to access online. The site offers resources for all facets of the school community. Created by the Alabama Department of Education, the site offers many tools for the teacher such as lesson plans, web links, and the Alabama Course of Study guidelines. It is a one stop place for a teacher's needs and benefits the classroom as a whole. The homepage is very easy to understand and navigating through the site is pretty self explanatory.

I think this site is a great tool. I have ALEX on several occasions for projects here at school and found it very helpful in limiting the workload of weeding through all the random google suggested sites. The Alabama Course of Study shows the visitor all of the subjects and the objectives that must be met for each grade level. It is actually really useful to look at these because it helps you to get an idea of what is required for your desired level to teach. The lesson plans provided are a great way to get ideas on how to apply the objectives to the classroom in fun and creative ways. Also, if you don't find what you are looking for, the site has links to other pages that you may find more useful. Overall, ALEX is a great resource and I would definitely recommend the site to a fellow classmate or teacher.
