ALEX or Alabama Learning Exchange was developed and created by the Alabama Department of Education. It's a useful program that has many helpful resources for students, parents, and teachers. ALEX offers many different resources that are available. They are lesson plans, weblinks, and course studies for teachers.

First off, the lesson plans that are offered is one of the many options that ALEX has for teachers to use on a regular basis to help them with their students. The teachers can use these lesson plans for specific courses or bonus material in class for students to use to recieve extra points toward their grades. The lessons can also be shared with the parents to help them keep up with the progress being made in the class that their child is in. Lastly, the lesson plans can be shared with other teachers as a study guide for a lesson that was covered in class for the students, and also be used by different teachers needing an idea of a subject to cover of a specific assignment that would be covered in the class.

Next, the weblinks provided by ALEX can be used by any student, parent, or teacher to help find information that can be used to help better understand a lesson plan or an assignment that was covered in class. The web links can be used to find information that can be used for any subject for any teacher in any grade from kindergarten to college courses that can be helpful to students, parents, and teachers alike. Lastly, the weblinks can be used to find music, videos, or podcasts that was covered in class to help a student go over information, or for parents to help their child understand a problem, or for a teacher to use as a reference on a subject in class.

Lastly, the course studies that are available is only a click away for teachers to use during the year in their classrooms for assisnments, homework or extra credit. They are also available for parents to use to check on progress being made by the teacher and for students to get their assignments that they might have missed from being sick and stuck at home for the day.

These are some reasons why I believe ALEX is a very useful program for students, parents, and teachers.
