“Alex” is the acronym for Alabama Learning Exchange. It is a resource website for teachers. It features things such as courses of study, web links, lesson plans, podcasts and more. It has links to find professional development opportunities and many teaching tools. It features grade specific lesson plans in twelve different categories ranging from English to career/technical in all different grade levels.

Under professional development, it includes educator standards and the code of ethics that we all must adhere to. It has a helpful FAQ page in professional development and related professional learning units. It features a web resource section that has links to helpful sites for administrators, teachers and students.

I think this site will be very helpful for a new teacher, in particular the lesson plans, podcasts and some of the interactive links. I would like to see some more community based computing tools.
