Alabama Learning Exchange

The Alabama Learning Exchange is a website that allows teachers to access resources and links that are beneficial to them. The site includes resources for many courses of study and for all grade levels (K-12) therein. Once you click on the particular subject and grade level, the site brings up objectives that you should cover. It also has links to lesson plans of other teachers that will help you create your own. The site also includes a professional learning option which takes you to various state websites that will aid in professional development,a personal workspace that allows you to securely save your class lessons and development,a distance learning button that takes you to websites that will further your professional knowledge, and a links button that will be helpful in researching outside the ALEX system.
ALEX is a tool that teachers can implement in their class preparation daily. From the course of study option that allows you to find the curriculum required to using that knowledge to create lesson plans adeptly and easily. I will use this tool when I become a teacher. I believe this site is a wonderful resource for teachers that will aid them greatly in their teaching endeavors.
