Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is an educational website created for the residents of Alabama. ALEX gives teachers and faculty many useful resources such as the Course of Study tab including, but not limited to, web links pertaining to the choice of study, lesson plans designed down to the grade level, study guides, and interesting activities and ways to implement them in the classroom. Teachers and faculty can converse with each other about lessons plans and teaching techniques/strategies. Students can also take full advantage of this website by exploring the web links tab, reviewing lesson plans and helpful ways to study. They can even take an on-line course, such as a foreign language or an art, that is not offered in their school as a course of study. But this website is not only helpful and useful for teachers, faculty, and students, but also for the parents. Parents who want to get more involved with their children's learning hands-on. They, too, can explore web links and review and implement study guides or lesson plans and other resources.
I was completely naive to the abbreviation ALEX before completing this blog. Looking over the ALEX website for this blog, I found myself becoming extremely interested and amazed at this wonderful website. Its user-friendly site is so helpful for students, faculty, teachers, parents, everyone. I will be sure to keep a close eye on this website as I plan to use it when I begin teaching. I am proud that Alabama has such a great program.

GREAT job Ashley. I am so glad to hear that you can/will use this website in teaching your future classes. Also, I love to hear of parents taking a more active roll in their children's education. Spread the word! Perhaps we can get more parents involved.
