ALEX, which stands for the Alabama Learning Exchange, is a website where teachers can either post lesson plans or upload other teachers lesson plans that they have posted. The home page at http://alex.state.al.us gives you the option of searching by courses of study, lesson plans, and through a personal workspace. It also offers professional learning, distance learning, as well as web links which lead to other reliable educational websites.
Through this database, teachers are able to find loads of information regarding practically any subject needed. While using ALEX, one can search not only by subject but also by grade to narrow things down. The courses of study that are offered include English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Arts Education, Career/Technical Education, Driver and Traffic Safety Education, Health Education, Languages other than English (Foreign Languages), Physical Education, Technology Education, and other courses of study. The slogan for ALEX is "Quality for Every Facet of Learning", and the Alabama Learning Exchange Team does all that they can to live up and exceed their motto. This website is definitely one that I plan on visiting again.
