ALEX

ALEX, or the Alabama Learning Exchange, is an excellent resource for parents, teachers, and even students. The website is easy to navigate through. Colorful, easy to use links carry you through a wide range of subjects and appropriate grade levels. Lesson plans are available based on your objective. The Professional Learning section provides tools for teachers to understand technology and even learn about grant opportunities. It also provides a wide variety of organizations that can appeal to teachers in many different fields. A first grade teacher, a science teacher, and even a PE teacher can benefit from the links. The Distant Learning section talks about the ACCESS, or Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide program, which I will discuss in further detail in my next blog.
ALEX can be an essential resource for teachers. I think It would be a helpful tool for me as a physical education teacher. The lesson plans provide fun and interesting ideas that every teacher should have access to.
