ALEX

The Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is a program created by the Alabama department of Education for teachers, which was designed to provide a link between teachers across the state to share information about the classroom. This website help teachers to connect the Alabama course of study with in class activities. Teachers are able to share activities, lesson plans, and other helpful tools and ideas that can be used in the classroom.

The website is very easy to navigate. There are many areas in which teachers are able to access on the website if they need help understanding and incorporating any portion of the Alabama Course of Study in the classroom. The available information includes but is not limited to: web links, lesson plans, and personal work spaces. There is information for different subject areas physical education, mathematics, language arts, art education, social studies, and science just to name a few.

This website is very useful. Teachers can engage in chat and view other people's ideas to help incorporate other types of learning in the classroom. This can encourage teachers to think differently especially when working in environments that are unfamiliar. ALEX can help create classes that are more productive because some ideas may cause children to be more focused than others and can hold their attention. The website can also help teachers deal with children that have disabilities better because they can get advice from others that have dealt with children of similar caliber. As a result of viewing this website, I will incorporate some of the activities found under the Physical Education category for my current classroom.
