Alabama Learning Exchange or "ALEX" is a free database used by teachers, administrators, students, and parents that helps them relay lesson plans to one another. The links at the website offer several attracting opportunities for all. The "weblinks" feature offers teachers, administrators, and students links to help learn about any course field they desire. There is a link for "lesson plans" which allows teachers to share their own and help out one another. The "professional learning" option allows people to find professional development opportunities. One of the very interesting links is "distant learning", which is run through ACCESS, which I will post more about next week. But this is simply for students who want to take a certain course but their school does not offer it. They can take the course through multimedia! The website also contains a search engine and a "personal workspace" option.
I have never heard of ALEX before this class but when I researched it, I found it to be interesting. I think it is a very useful tool for people to use. I am a physical education major so when I checked out the website I clicked on all of the physical education links to see what they had to offer. I look forward to seeing the website and program grow and I will definitely use it when I start to teach.
