Alex (Alabama Learning Exchange)

The website for Alex was very neat to see. It amazed me how helpful all the available materials can be. I liked the fact that as an up and coming teacher there are things such as lesson plans and even web links to many neat sites. I was saddened that there seemed to not by anything for Special Education majors or teachers. In the cource of study area, nothing for Special Education was represented. Perhaps I did not look in the right places.

One of the best resources that the site offers is the "ask" type of section. Technically it's called "thinkifinity" but it works the same as an "ask" link would. When I went to the weblink section I was impressed to see that there were administrator, teacher and student sections. There are some sections I do not think I would use such as the "distance learning" sections, but I can see how it would be very useful.
