ALEX

The Alabama Leaning Exchange website offers many tips for teachers of all grades. It supplies a variety of learning techniques such as distance learning, lesson plans, and classroom activity ideas. The Distance Learning section will help teachers pin point what areas there students may need assistance in. This is a place where students can engage in areas that may be limited in there school. This may include interactive video conferences with other classrooms or courses with two-way audio and video. Alex also provides a virtual library that would be very beneficial to any classroom. Another thing that is really great about Alex is that it keeps teachers updated on the current grant programs.

I think Alex is a really great program and it will definitely be useful to me as a future educator. I thought the Distance Learning section was the most interesting area. I think as a teacher it would be wise to share Alex with the parents of my future students as well so that they can make use of it in their homes. I felt that this website was not primarily just for teachers. It is for anyone that is willing to become more educated.
