ALEX, an acronym for Alabama Learning Exchange, is a relatively new project, which is essentially an index for different learning resources. It is a very inteactive website, with links to a vast variety of learning tools. For example, the Home Page has 8 different boxes, each labeled things like "Courses of Study," "Lesson Plans," etc. These links take you to many resources, for example "Courses of Study" takes you to a page with a dozen boxes labeled everything from "Mathematics" to "Arts Education," and each box takes you to that particular subject, with forms of study for that particular subject available to Kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. ALEX is an excellent tool for those teachers who are looking for a variety of ideas that they can incorporate into the classroom, and the Website is still expanding.
