My Thoughts on ALEX

I think ALEX is a great program for both students and teachers. It is well outlined and the website is very easy to get around. The website has eight areas to explore. The first area is Courses of Study. Here you can find different subjects with detailed lesson plans for grades K-12. The second area is Web Links. On this page there are websites that students and teachers can visit to help them out in school. The third area you can click on is Lesson Plans. This is another way to get lesson plans by subject and grade level. The fourth area is Search. Here you can search the website for certain things you are looking for. The fifth area is Personal Workspace. Here you can create lesson plans and create your own website. The sixth area is Professional Training. This is a page where teachers can get access to more up-to-date material, such as new methods for teaching. The seventh area you can visit on this website is Distance Learning. Here you can learn through the web. To do this you would click on a link that will navigate you from Alex.com to Access (Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide). The eighth and last area is HELP. Here you can get help on problems you may have throughout the website.
I really enjoyed this website. I will defiantly use this when I start teaching. I find it very beneficial to me and probably the student as well.
