ALEX

ALEX is a website indexed to help teachers with many time-saving, one-stop resources in the classroom. Parents are also able help meet their child’s school goals at home by using ALEX (http://www.21stcenturyskills.org), by using this can get the overall benefit in the classroom. The ALEX website has eight different categories you can choose from. My favorite was the different lesson plans for different grade levels. It allows you to click on a subject and plan for your classroom needs. This is a great tool for any new and old teacher by implementing a variety of new educational sources and experiences. The links you can follow include: Courses of Study, Web Links, Lesson Plans, Search, Personal Workplace, Professional Learning, Distance Learning, and Help. Under the course study there descriptions of what every grade level subject area that teachers, administrators, and students can use.

The Workplace tab allows you to create a personal login to tap into educational resources The Distance Learning tab it will provide a person with access to the Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS) program. The Professional Learning tab helps a person keep up with the latest news and find learning tools among other things. I think ALEX will be a good website for a beginning teacher and those who may need to brush up on the changing educational world.
