ALEX

This is ALEX's Logo


ALEX, Alabama Learning Exchange, is a great website for administrators, teachers, and students. The website contains various links that maybe considered useful inside and outside the classroom. The links are: Course of Study, Web Links, Lesson Plans, Search Engine, Personal Workshop, Professional Learning, Distance Learning and Help.


Course of study has a link which enables you to find the standards for the various subjects and grade levels. Web links shows links for the administrators, teachers, and students, The links for the teacher and students are fairly similar. They pertain mostly to the various subjects such as Language Arts, Math, and Science. The lesson plans link allows you to find lesson plans by the subject, grade level, or keywords. The search engine allows you to search from the different links such as Alabama Course of Study Content Standards or lesson plans and resources. In order to use the personal workshop you must first create an account with Alex. The Professional learning has websites that will help teachers and administrators enhance professional growth and communication. The Distance learning is a big part of ACCESS(Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide. This program is going to help high school students become ready for college and the workforce. We will go into more detail in my next post which is pertaining to ACCESS. The last link which ALEX has is Help. This link should answer any remaining questions you have about the Alex website.
