Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) provides many wonderful sources for teachers and students, as well as parents. Once you arrive at the main page there are eight choices of direction for you to choose. Under "Course of Study" you can browse every course of study for every grade and every subject. "Web Links" is a great resource for looking for information on a specific subject. They have links for parents, administrators, and students. A super wonderful part of the site is "Lesson Plans." This is where as a teacher you are able to go and search for other lesson plans by other teachers. The other links include one to search by, distance learning, personal workspace (this requires you to create an account), help, and professional learning.
The slogan for ALEX is "Quality for Every Facet of Learning" . It is clear from the Welcome page (found at the bottom of the home page) that every member of the team that makes the website possible takes it very seriously. It is a project of the Alabama Department of Education and provides a one stop resource for parents, teachers, and students. When we all work together and put in our input it makes that much easier. ALEX is a great resource and very easy to use.

I hope that other states decide to come up with something like Alabama has. When I searched Mississippi's, I did notice they have a website that does focus on distance learning and various other links for those in educational fields as well as for students and parents. It is not as user friendly, but then again, it is nice that they have some kind of resource for all of the above.
