I have found that the Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is not only a useful tool for teacher's to use in the classroom but it is also a source of educational student web links for students of all ages. Students can research famous artists, science information and foreign languages because these web links are given on ALEX. As a teacher one should use these links and then provide them to your students so they can use them in and outside of the classroom.
If you find ALEX to be a very useful source of information to use in your classroom then you can create an ALEX account that will enable you to store lesson plans and many more. Lesson plans are essential in the classroom. If you click on the Lesson Plans button you are offered numerous free lesson plans you can use as a guide in the classroom. If you do not find these useful you can create your own. In order to create your own lesson plan you must create an ALEX account.
Another thing I found that can also be very helpful is the Search button. I simply typed in the word frog and numerous lesson plans came up for frogs. One of the lesson plans was titled "The Life Cycle of a frog". This tool is much easier than using the Lesson Plan button because you can type in whatever you are looking for and you then have a lesson plan for that subject.
If all of this is to confusing you can click on the Help button and it will explain everything you need to know about ALEX. The best information I can give is to explore ALEX. After learning about ALEX I believe I will use this as a source of educational information for my classroom.
