Alabama Learning Exchange Assignment II

I would use ALEX for various reasons in the classroom. One main reason is it it free to all students no matter their socioeconomic background. ALEX contains various courses of study to choose from. The Distance Learning would be used to provide for students with limited access of course offerings. This would be good for students preparing for college but do not have access to some of the materials needed in their school district. The Lesson Plans would be the one I would use the most. I would design quizzes and research projects according to some of the wealth of information provided by ALEX.

Web links for teachers, administrators, and student in categories such as English, Science, and Mathematics would provide students extra tutorials and materials that they can access outside the classroom and devote the time needed to study areas that they are weak in. The information provided on the Web links will also help the students study for standardized tests. There is also a category for Career and Technical development that I would recommended my students use to maybe decide a career path for themselves. This web link could give the access to in depth information on possible areas to choose from for a career.
