ALEX in my classroom

When I begin to teach, ALEX will definitely come in handy. I'll be able to access the website and pull different educational information to use in my classroom. If I need assistance in creating a lesson plan, I can simply log on to ALEX and view what other teachers have found to be successful. If I gather helpful information on a certain topic and wish to share it with other educators, I can certainly do so through ALEX.

I can also explain to my students that if they are having trouble finding information in just about any subject area, they may use ALEX to help them find what they need. This will not only make it easier for them to do research, but it will also improve their computer skills. Computers are a huge part of how the world operates, so it is important for our future generations to be educated on the use of computers. This will sharpen their skills, as well as, teach them new information. Most families have computers in their homes so it will also be easier for parents to help their children with projects or assignments by accessing the information provided by ALEX.
