Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX)

AlabamaLearningExchange
Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) provides tools to assist teachers with their lesson plans. It provides web links for a specific grade, subject, and topic being taught in the classroom. Teachers have to be creative and be able to reach out to a very diverse group of students. One has to consider poverty as an issue that hinders students from accessing needed materials for the learning process and try to accommodate their needs in the classroom.

ALEX provides a variety of resources that will be useful in the classroom. There are lesson plans available for the teacher's use to coincide with the lesson plans they are preparing. There is a place where an individual teacher can develop their own personal workshop. Also, there are web sites teachers can use to get additional information.

This program will be useful for assisting teachers in the classroom. Creativity is a part of a teacher's classroom instructions. As a teacher, I may have ideas and strategies to present in my classroom. I can get additional help from ALEX. There may be a few struggling students that requires something extra. I may be able to derive new ways to present instructions to my class.
