ALEX stands for the Alabama Learning Exchange which is a database for teachers to utilize. The real strength of the site in my opinion is the Lessons Plans section where it offers lesson plans for teachers on different subjects. I think that this would be a very valuable resource for a new teacher. This would give a new teacher some guidance in setting up a lesson plan for the first time. There is also a Courses of Study section that lets you know what you are suppose to be integrating into your lesson plans. The podcast section on ALEX is not very developed, but there is a few podcast worth listening to. There is a search engine to help navigate the site and a professional learning section to help with a teachers life long learning. Over all this looks to be a very helpful site for teachers. I think that some of the sections could use a little work and the podcast section needs to be added onto, but it is a great step for Alabama for making their teachers technologically literate.
