ALEX

ALEX is a project of the Alabama Department of Education. ALEX gets funding from the office of Technology Initiatives, and the Federal Government. They have an executive council, a steering committee, and an advisory council. You can go to there website and click on course of study and then you can choose your course of study that goes with your lesson plan or you can go to course of study and click one of their lesson plans. They have everything from your basic courses to foreign language to health education. You can go to the lesson plans page and specify which subject such as history, english or whatever you are looking for. You can put a specific grade level you can narrow your search down by doing this so that you don't get a million lesson plans that you don't need at that moment. They have educational web links for teachers, principals, and students. These could come in handy because say you need a project for the kids to do in science but you aren't sure what to have them do then you just do to the weblinks and click on the one for teachers and then choose a subject and it gives you all the websites related to science.

They have a link called personal workspace and you can create an account and store and submit your own lesson plans or web links. Another link on their page is a place called professional learning you can go here and find proffessional development opportunities, teaching and learning tools and the latest news. They also have links for you to enhance your proffessional growth and communication. They also have what they call the distant learning program which is for students who don't have certain courses offered at their school they can use this to take them.It also provides opportunities for students statewide to engage in Advanced Placement (AP), elective, and other courses to which they may not otherwise have access to.Overall I think this is a great website.
