Alabama Learning Exchange
The Alabama Learning Exchange is a website for educational purposes. This website can assist you in so many educational areas. Teachers can post and share their lesson plans to ALEX, to broaden and expand their learning world. I have already used this tool to create a lesson plan for my future class and I'm not even a teacher yet!. It also offers "courses of study," allowing you to choose the grade and subject for further detail and shows you the basic curriculum of what they should be going through. Secondly, it has all sorts of weblinks for teachers, administrators and even students to lead you in the direction you would like to go. Furthermore, ALEX has a "personal workspace" option for you to add whatever it is you want, a search engine to maximize your assistance, "professional learning," where you can go to the ends of the educational systems and which ever department you might need, and last but not least a "podcast treasury" with any kind of podcast you can imagine... and it's free! So as you can see, ALEX is such a professional, reliable and available source for helping, informing, entertaining, teaching, learning and so much more! I love this website and think it absolutely brilliant! I am so thankful to have a site where anyone can go and leave or post a lesson plan, find a lesson plan, clear up any confusion about the educational system, help manage a classroom and teach closer to the curriculum. It is such a beneficial website, everyone should check it out!

ACCESS Distance Learning
"Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide" is incredible! This website provides classroom courses and teachers via technology. Its' goal is to create equity through additional educational offerings for all Alabama Public High School students. It has announcements, and support centers and like ALEX has weblinks to offer. This site is very informative, easy to navigate, and figure out what you're looking for. Like ALEX, I feel it was well created and does a great job of getting it's point across to the public... which I believe to be a positive and helpful educational tool to the outside world.
