ALEX

ALEX is a very useful tool for teachers. It was created by the Alabama Department of Education and is designed to share many different educational materials and learning styles through a very easliy accessible resource. It can be used by educators, parents, and students everywhere. On the website, it features several different courses of study, such as English Language Arts, Mathematics, Arts Education, Career/Techical Education, Driver and Traffic Safety Education, Health Education, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Languages, Physical Education, Technology Education, and more.

I think this project is a very beneficial one. It allows for educators all over to share and exchange their most brilliant educational material. It is also very convienient. One can easily access the website from the internet. By exchanging ideas such as lesson plans or just simply good information, our teachers become much more aware of what works and what doesn't work in a classroom and students and parents may learn helpful study tips. If a student is having trouble understanding an assignment, he/she can easily access the ALEX website for homework help.
