ALEX stands for Alabama Learning Exchange. ALEX is a great website for future teachers and educators. On the home page there are four main categories. The main categories are course of study, web links, search, lesson plans, personal work space, professional learning, podcast treasury, and ALEXville. The course of study section have all the standards organized by grade level and subjects. There are numerous of lesson plans for every standard. The lesson plans can be very good resources or ideas for how a teacher can teach that particular standard. The podcast are broke into different sections by subjects. There are also many useful links provided by ALEX that educators can easily find. The personal workspace section allows an educator to organize all their resources. There is also a professional learning section broke down into useful websites that an educator can explore to receive help in certain areas. The web resource section is broken into six different categories three of which are specially for students,teachers, and administers.
While exploring the ALEX website in the professional learning section there were links to request training on profession development. There was also a link on grants opportunities. There were a power points explaining the process of grants and tips on writing grants. I also like how there was more than one lesson plan for a certain grade level or subject so there are plenty of examples to help me as a teacher come up with my own lesson plans. I plan to use this website a lot well still in school as well as during my professional career.
