Alabama Learning Exchange, commonly know as ALEX, is Alabama’s course of study. This website is a teacher’s best friend. It gives you everything one would need to know about the material one is required to teach each school year. Besides giving requirements, it also gives links for resources, sample lesson plans, and examples for everyday teaching. This website can be accessed at anytime. I think myself along with every future teacher will use this database every day.
I think I would use this database for everyday use and for following the requirements of the state of Alabama. I know there are several topics for each course that a teacher is required to teach, and when using this database it will help one to not skip over any topic. I can be very forgetful, but this database will be there to keep me on track for each course topic.
When using this database it will also give one ideas for resources that have information about the topic one will teach about. I know when I was a younger student I loved to hear fun facts about a topic, for the most part those fun facts are what kept me interested in the different topics. This database also gives lesson plans for each topic a teacher might have for each subject. For example if I had to teach 10th grade social studies I could just follow the links and the database would give several topics with several different lesson plans I could follow by or use.
