ALEX

ALEX offers many valuable resources for teachers. The areas include Courses of Study, Web Links, Lesson Plans, Personal Workspace, and Professional Learning just to name a few. You can click on the different areas and find valuable information for teachers.

The Courses of Study link takes you to a page where you can choose from different courses, such as Math, Science, Social Studies, etc. After clicking on one of these links you can choose which grade level you are looking for. It then gives you links to web sites and lesson plans.

ALEX would be useful to a teacher who is stuck working on a lesson plan. They can go to this site and get helpful information to help with planning. You can also find other teacher’s lesson plans to help you with yours.

I would use ALEX for lesson planning purposes. I think it is a great site and would be helpful to many teachers. I would also use ALEX to find websites that would coincide with my lesson plans. That way I could either bring them up in class, or give the sites to the students so they could look them up on their own.
