ALEX is a website that is used to devote information to parents, teachers, students, and administrators who can all benefit from the information available. The website is broken into eight categories so that who is every searching for a specific topic can find it with ease. The eight categories are web links, lesson plans, courses of study, search, professional learning, personal workspace, podcast treasury, and ALEXville. The one I found very user friendly was the ones for lesson plans. All one has to do is click on the grade level and subject and follow the links and it will provide you with an Alabama State lesson plan. Another one that I really enjoyed learning about and will use in class would be the podcast treasury, mainly because it allows students to get more involved with learning. Then there is course of study, which basically provides the Alabama content standards for each subject. With all of these categories broken up it gives everyone a better opportunity to learn.
With the ALEX website I believe it would be a great asset due to all the information it provides, especially since I would be a new teacher. Say for instance I could not come up with a lesson plan or a question about a specific standard. I would not have to worry because all I would have to do is go to the ALEX website and go into what specific category suites my needs. This website is great for all new teachers just for that reason and many others similar to that. Because once you are fresh out of school with your first class you do not now what to expect. So if worst comes to worst just use the site as a guide until you feel comfortable on your own.
ACCESS which is a distance learning program that provides recovery courses for students statewide. ACCESS uses both interactive and web based online course formats for student uses. These courses are taken during the day at school taught by trained facilitators. The purpose of having ACCESS available for students to learn is so they can develop and learn to improve their skills by distant learning. I believe this is great for all students especially for those who maybe having a harder time more than others.
