Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is an awesome tool for teachers. It comes with Courses of Study, Web Links, Lesson Plans, Personal Workspace, and information regarding Professional and Distance Learning. I would have to say that ALEX is a wonderful tool for teachers, both new and old, but especially for new teachers. I recently had to use it for making a lesson plan. But it's more than just a format for getting and or making a lesson plan, it also a good place to save some of your ideas for lesson plans for others to use. I really like the way that ALEX breaks down the Course of Study for each Subject at each grade level. As a first time visitor to the website, I was truly impressed and very pleased.

I believe that the Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS) is a wonderful tool as well. I can see it as a great aid to get education to students everywhere. Web-based courses in my opinion are a thing of the future and I'm sure as Educators, they'll come in very handy. I think that the Professional Learning section is good also. It give you a source to go to for help with professional development. I would definitely reccomend this site to others.
