Alabama Learning Exchange

The Alabama learning exchange otherwise known as (ALEX)is an online database of lesson plans created by teachers for teachers and student. you can search through the lesson plans by subject to find the specific topic you are looking for. it is also a reliable place to start a course page to organize your class.

Alex seems that it would be a very reliable resource when getting prepared and staying organized for future classes that i would be teaching. Also it would be a good way to keep my students aware of what the future lessons would hold that way there are no surprises.
