ALEX

Alex is a website called Alabama Education Exchange. Its a website that helps teachers to become effective in teaching. It provides links to which department the teacher is teaching to become successful in the classrooms. Alex is a great program for teachers in their first years. It provides examples of course studies, lesson pans, searches, personal worspace, professional learning and distance learning.
The course study link provides all the subjects to click on. Then it gives you a grade level to pick from. This link provides an example of a course study. This website provides a link to send you to pick a choice of a link for web links dealing with education. The links include: teacher weblinks, administrator weblinks, and student weblinks. Alex provides a link to teach you how to design your own lesson plan. Alex also provides a link called Alex/Thinkfinity database. This has several links including: Alabama Course of study content standards, thinkfinity lessons/activities, web links, and lesson plans and resources. Alex provides a link that sends you to visit the Alabama Department of Education Program Websites. These websites helps find professional development opportunities, teaching and learning tools, the latest news, best practices, and more. The last link it provides the distance learning link. This is a link that offers an access to opportunities for students statewide to engage in advanced placement, elective, and other courses. I'm glad I know about Alex now, because this is a great website for first time teachers.
