According to Bessemer City Schools ALEX is "a project of the Alabama Department of Education, is designed to index and share many types of educational materials and information through a time-saving, one-stop resource for educators, parents, and students."
ALEX is composed of eight different sections: Course of Study, Web Links, Lesson Plans, Search, Personal Workspace, Professional Learning, Podcast Treasury, and ALEXville. Course of Study shows many subjects. Not only can you choose a subject you can also choose a grade level. Then you look up what you are looking for and click on the lesson plans and they can help you with teaching that material. Web Links shows you web links for the lesson that you are teaching. With Search, you can search ALEX's database for information. Professional Learning allows you to work on you profession teaching skills. Podcast Treasury is an archive full of podcast about a lot of different things. ALEXville is where the State makes the announcements.
ALEX can be very useful when you first state teaching. It can help you grasp how to make lesson plans, how to approach the students, and it can be a valuable resource when you need to look a video on a certain topic via the search database or the podcast treasury.
