Blog Post # 13

The Alabama Learning Exchange, aka ALEX, is a website designed to help Alabama teachers. One section of this website is ALCOS, which stands for Alabama Course of Study. Once in ALCOS a teacher can choose a subject and then choose the grade level that they are teaching. Once this is done it shows the teachers the state requirements for what is to be taught during that grade level for that subject. There is a web resources resources link that is a link to other resources directed toward teachers. There are lesson plans, whichtells how to properly write and carry out lesson plans in the classroom.


Alex is an excellent tool that is available to all teachers. It is something that I could envision using in my future teaching career. I like how easy it was to use and get what I need out of it without having to spend to much time trying to find the information that I was looking for.

Access, which stands for Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide, is a website more geared toward students. It has things such as test prep, website resources and even special courses that are offered. This website is a good way to get students more involved in their own education. This is also an easy website to navigate, and would be a website that I would not hesitate to recommend to students.
