Courses of Study and Lesson Plans include a wide array of lesson plans uploaded by teachers from Alabama. Lesson plans can be located in each course of study ranging from Language Arts to Arts Education to Physical Education. Lesson plans are then divided into grades K through 12. In each lesson plan, the name of the author (teacher) is included as well as what district and school the teacher's lesson plan comes from. Each lesson plan includes an overview, content standards which are met, local/national standards, learning objectives, approximate duration of the lesson, materials and equipment, technology resources needed, background/preparation, procedures/activities, attachments, assessment strategies, extension, remediation, and accommodations.
Professional Learning, Weblinks, and Distance Learning provide teachers with a number of resources at their fingertips. Professional Learning is exactly that, a helpful tool that provides teachers with helpful resources for their profession. Weblinks provides many web resources in every subject area not only teachers, but students and administrators, too. Distance Learning is a way for teachers to continue learning and growing as educators.
I do not plan on teaching in a public school setting. I will be using my knowledge I gain in my Elementary Education classes primarily to home-school my own children. This website will be useful for lesson planning in the future for me as a home-educator. I also found the Weblinks to be an integral part of ALEX because it connects not only the teacher to other Alabama teachers but it introduces technology into perhaps a part of the lesson not otherwise explored. I found the Art Education sites to be extremely entertaining and engaging.
