Hi Everyone! I just finished browsing the ALEX website and I am very excited. ALEX is an easy to navigate website for not only teachers, but parents, students and administrators as well. When you click on the link provided below, it will take you to the ALEX website. There, you will find eight different headings from which to choose. They are: Courses of Study, Web Links, Lesson Plans, Search, Personal Workspace, Professional Learning, Distance Learning, and Help.
In Courses of Study, you will find lesson plans by grade and subject area. In Web Links, you can find links related to subject area that provide lesson plans, links to teacher forums, content for specific courses, activities/problems (math and science) and more. In Lesson Plans, you can create your own lesson plans (see Personal Workspace), find lesson plans by author, title, school, subject, or all or specific grade levels. In Search, you can do just that. You can enter any combination of words related to the subject you are looking for and the database will be searched, results will be displayed. In Personal Workspace, you will find instructions to create your own personal workspace. Remember to write down your username and password!! In Professional Learning, you will find links to help with grant writing and available grants, links to help ELL's (English Language Learners), the latest on Alabama Leadership Development and more. In Distance Learning, you will learn about ACCESS. ACCESS is Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators & Students Statewide. If your school has limited course offerings, ACCESS might be for you! In Help, you will get just that. It is packed with how-to's and FAQ's about ALEX.
I can't wait to use this database and went ahead and signed in to create my own personal workspace. I think that ALEX will help not only when I am a teacher, but also on my road to BECOMING a teacher!
