The Alabama Learning Exchange also known as ALEX is a very useful resource tool used by educators as well as parents and students to enhance the learning experience. ALEX is a website designed to present teachers with a variety of lesson plans to fit their style of teaching. This program includes a variety of curriculums to choose from including: Art Education, Drivers Safety, Health, Language, Physical Education, and Technology Education, as well as the basic studies such as Math, English, History, Science and so forth. These massive amount’s of lesson plans are provided by the teachers for the teachers.
There is also another resource tool that is helpful to improving the education system as we know it. It is the ACCESS program or the Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide. This program allows students and teachers to communicate from different locations via the internet. It gives the students an experience like no other they are able to attend a virtual classroom or even go on a virtual fieldtrip!
I think that this boost we are having in technology is great. Many teachers and students can help each other accomplish things that in the past would have been impossible. When I become a teacher, I believe I will put these wonderful tools to work. I can go to a website and browse through a significant number of lesson plans and ideas until I find what is right for my class.
