The Alabama learning exchange, or ALEX, is a website designed for educator collaboration on different resources. The site is set up with links to web resources for teachers, administrators, and students and is broken down into different categories, that are then broken down into smaller and smaller categories until they lead you to what you are looking for. For example, I chose to search the visual arts, then clicked grade two to see what they had out their for us elementary education majors, and it brought up a list of objectives for that grade level. It also has a Personal Workspace, where teachers can save lesson plans and submit new ideas for the ALEX site.
I think that ALEX could be very useful to me as a teacher. The way it is laid out is really simple and easy to use. Everything is very organized, which I appreciate when I'm trying to use a website! I hate trying to sift through piles of posts to look for the one I want, and that is not a problem with ALEX. Like I said before, there are links to everything here, from lesson plan ideas to information on professional development which makes the site extremely useful. I think that I could definitely find a use for the many resources that ALEX provides online.
