The new and upcoming cite ALEX is helping teachers to be more organized in the classroom. ALEX stands for Alabama Learning Exchange. To enter this cite click ALEX. When ALEX's homepage appears a search engine will pop-up, different web links, courses of study, lesson plans, personal workspace, professional learning, and podcast treasury are provided.
The courses of study include: English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Arts Education, and Physical Education. These courses of study allow you to find different links to lesson plans you can use. ALEX also allows you to view different web links for the student, teacher, and administrator. ALEX allows teachers to find new and innovative lesson plans in a range of subjects. ALEX is also a great place for personal workplaces, professional learning, and podcast. I have personally used ALEX myself. And as a teacher I will most definitely use ALEX for interesting lesson plans.
ACCESS is for Alabama teachers. It allows teachers different resources, courses, educators, and students. ACCESS's goal is to to create equity through additional educational offerings for all Alabama public high school students. ACCESS allows teachers to view courses in graduation exams, course offerings, course catalogs e.t.c. ACCESS is just another cite for teachers to become more integrated with technology.
I have never used ACCESS, or even heard of it for that matter. But it looks like a really good source for teachers to use in the classroom. I also thought it was interesting that ACCESS allows you to view other universities and gather new ideas. As a future teacher ACCESS will definitely be something I'll look more into. ACCESS and ALEX are both great cites for teachers to explore.
Great post guh! I agree that ALEX was a really cool site and extremely useful for teachers. I thought the lesson plan area was the coolest aspect of the site. Word.
