Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX)

ALEX is an exchange of a wide variety of lesson plans for teachers. The website http://alex.state.al.us was very helpful, as it guides you to different subject areas, grade levels, then finally the appropriate lesson plans. The cool thing is, it's not just a couple ideas for lessons, there are pages of ideas from teachers giving great detail of the lesson. The plans range from math to art, drama to science, and even music; all for different grade levels and experience level for music.

I was also amazed that part of ALEX is a distant learning program. ACCESS Distance Learning is the Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide. It provides education to schools with limited funding for books, materials, and other resources for learning, so that everyone has the opportunity for education.
