The Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX)

Alabama Learning Exchange logo
According to the site description, the Alabama Learning Exchange "is designed to index and share many types of educational materials and information through a time-saving, one-stop resource for educators, parents, and students. The majority of these rich resources (lesson plans, Web links, and interactive activities) are located and connected to the Alabama Courses of Study by National Board Certified Teachers."
What a wonderful resource for teachers who want to prepare the best possible lessons for their students! Teachers can simply click on their grade level, scroll down to their lesson objective and find several complete lesson plans and links to useful sites for making learning fun and interesting. I look forward to using this great site when I am planning a lesson to teach and meet the required standards.
There is a "Podcast Treasury" with many subject areas that could be an excellent tool in the classroom. A part of the site is for "Professional Learning" with lots of information on Library Media, Alabama Professional Development, Special Education, English Learners Education and more.
