ALEX

ALEX, which can be found at by clicking here, is the Alabama Learning Exchange. The website is a resource for students, parents, teachers, and administrators set up by the Alabama State Department of Education. You can find many different educational materials and according to the website, "the majority of these rich resources (lesson plans, Web links, and interactive activities) are located and connected to the Alabama Courses of Study by National Board Certified Teachers."

Not only can you find a personal workspace which allows you to save information from the website, but you can also find many, many lesson plans. There are numerous web links for the administrator, teacher, and student. I've already used the web links myself for the special education class that I am currently taking. Also, you can find the standards set for teachers by the Alabama Department of Education. There are useful podcasts and also a section on professional learning where you can find professional development opportunities as well as the latest news and best practices.
