ALEX
Alex is a very colorful and very educational site ">click here. It gives you eight links on the following: courses of study, web links, lesson plans, search, personal workspace, professional learning, podcasting treasure, and Help. Each one gives a teacher some great informational strategies to use within there classroom to help increase learning. It can be a very resourceful tool when writing lesson plans.

While researching I came across the Alabama Department of Education Leadership & Education. Within this site there mission is to provide advice for the development of a seamless system of professional development for Alabama instructional leaders. Leaders are to promote the mission of enhancing school leadership. These two sites are great to use as a teacher to help your students.

ACCESS
Access was a new site that I visited that was used for high school students. The goal of ACCESS is to continue to meet objectives of the access plan,expanding the availability of Access Distance Learning to all public high schools in the state, It gives equal opportunities for high school students and gives students great programs. The future of ACCESS is to provide a 21st century distance learning classroom for every Alabama High Schools. They offer training to certified teachers to become e-teachers.

The site has a list of courses available within ACCESS. ACCESS was launched on November 1, 2004. The distance education intake was the culmination of research and planning by Governor Bob Riley. They have different support centers through out the state to assist. This site is great for all high school students to explore to gain information and extra practice.
