The Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) looks to be a treasure trove of usable resources. This is my first look at ALEX and I was impressed with the available resources and links to even more available resources, all for free. ALEX homepage has eight "buttons" that allow one to navigate the site. The eight "buttons" are: Course of Study; Web Links; Lesson Plans; Search; Personal Workspace; Professional Learning; Distance Learning; Help. A few of these buttons are self explanatory. The "Course of Study" and "Lesson Plans" buttons allow teachers to search for lesson plans. ALEX offers a place for you to get a "Personal Workspace" which allows you to; find a lesson plan, create a lesson plan, or create a teaching page. It also shows the number of approved lesson plans you have submitted. The "Professional Learning" button opens up yet another treasure trove of web links that look to be very useful in advancing knowledge for teachers. The "Distance Learning" button opens up a link to "Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide" (ACCESS).
Again this is my first look at ALEX and I am impressed with what this seems to have the potential for me as a prospective educator. I know I will be using this site as a resource in the future. There is a lot of features that will take time to learn, but they look useful.
