ALEX

ALEX, Alabama Learning Exchange, is a website that was developed as a tool for educators, administrators, students and parents to access information on every course offered in the public schools. It was set up for easy use by listing grade levels and the courses that each level will use throughout the year. Anyone can use it. All you have to do is click on the subject and grade level to view information in that particular area. Many teacher’s across the country use this website to view and use lesson plans that have been shared in hopes to give them ideas on how to deliver concepts in a creative manner. Since ALEX is being updated regularly it gives the user a chance to combine several lesson plans in one to create your own way of teaching with the most current information available.

ALEX is a very valuable tool for teachers and administrators. It allows them, by creating their own account, to view shared work but also to have their own workspace to enhance their own ideas and ways of teaching. As a teacher, we are always looking for ways to learn and receive professional instruction from other administrators and teachers. This program allows us to receive this instruction so that we can develop in all areas and deliver a more knowledgeable lesson to our students with the best and most recent information. As a previous teacher, renewing her certificate, I am very excited and will make very good use of this educational tool.
