The Alabama Learning Exchange is an online resource that is availably to teachers and students in the state of Alabama. Alex, as it is otherwise known is possibly the best website that the state has come up with to help teachers. It has everything one needs to help with preparing and learning new skills. It is also very easy to navigate. Students also benefit from the site since it has students web links and a distance learning lab that let them connect with other students in the state. Teacher can search for lesson plans, find web links, and have a personal workspace. Alex is one website that everyone involved in school can use to better their knowledge in their field of study.

Alex has your typical courses of study like english, math, science, and social studies. But they also have art, technology, career, health, languages, and physical. This helps you with ideas in your course of study. It also has educational web links for teachers, administers, and students. This lets you type in what you are looking for and takes you to websites that correspond with your requests. The distance learning lab is for students that want to get in touch with other students in the state. This lets them connect with others and also get help with things they need for school. One thing that the teachers really like is the free lesson plans. You can either get a lesson plan on what you need or create one to share with other teachers throughout the state. And possibly the greatest part on Alex is the professional learning lab it let teachers learn new learning tools, get news, and enhance their professional growth that will benefit them and their students.

To me the Alabama Learning Exchange is a great website that a teacher can use to get new ideas, create lesson plans, and further their professional growth. The course of study is going to be a great help when I start since I am going to be an elementary teacher. The course of studies has every subject that I will be teaching being an elementary teacher you have to know how to teach every subject. Even though I will be taking classes in every subject I know there will be things that I will not learn in college, and this part of the website will help with that. Also the professional learning part will be a great help because I know I will always be looking for new ways to teach my students and this will help to enhance my growth.

As a teacher lesson plans are a huge concern since everything you do has to be documented, and with this website they let you use or create lesson plans. Underneath the lesson plans tab you can create a lesson plan, so when you have a great idea on how to teach a subject you can share it with other teachers in the state. Also you can find lesson plans in every grade and subject. I know that this will be a part of the website that I will use when I need help in an area and hopefully one day I will come up with great lesson plans to share with other teachers. As a future teacher in the state of Alabama, Alex will be a website that I will visit when I need assistance.
