Review of Alabama Learning Exchange
The Alabma Learning Exchange, or ALEX, is a very useful site with tools for all educators. Not only does it provides lesson plan ideas for all subjects and any grade, K-12; but it also has a place for teachers to strengthen their own professional learning skills. Under the professional learning link, an educator is able to review presentations about training opportunities and even learn about grants available to teachers to use in the classroom.
The training opportunities include information on Leadership and Evalution, English Language Learners, Distance Learning and much more! The great thing about the ALEX site is that it all about the use of technology. Teachers have their own account on the site so that they can fully utilize all that it has to offer. The site even offers information on technology tools including Google tools, Multimedia Applications and Internet/Email Applications just to name a few.
Being that the site is so technologically inclined, there is even a place for teachers to review educational podcast. Here, an educator may find a podcast for any subject ranging from art to mathematics. A podcast is a new innovation that I believe is changing the way children learn. Students are now able to hear first hand information from the professionals who are gathering the information to share with others.
When I begin to teach, I will keep this site in mind. It is a wonderful tool that can only help make the teacher's job easier. The best part of this site is that it is free. It does not cost the educator anything to get the information in order to better their classroom experience. I can only think to describe this site as classroom innovation at it's finest!
