What is ALEX?

ALEX or the Alabama Learning Exchange is a database of educational materials that can be accessed by teachers, parents, and students alike. Created by the Alabama Department of Education, this website contains interactive activities, lesson plans, and web links designed by educators and is continually developing through their constant input. Through this tool, teachers and others may share learning and ideas that will improve the quality of education of Alabama Children.
When I accessed this website and began exploring it, I was impressed with the many teaching ideas just under the English/Language Arts Lesson Plan area alone. The website breaks down activities ranging from Kindergarten basics through High School Language Arts. I also enjoyed exploring some of the links to this website that included the Alabama Virtual Library, Alabama Public Television, and my personal favorite, Thinkfinity.org.
