ALEX

I think this is an amazing tool out there for educators! Alex can be a powerful tool for not only teachers, but administrators and students as well. It is very simple and straight forward. ALEX is insight to lesson plans created and posted by teachers which is great for sharing ideas and gaining outsider insight. It also has a page where you can go to any subject and any grade to see what basic knowledge should be taught in each grade level. This is just something to look at and explore to see how it can benefit you in your quest through teaching.
Honestly, I don't see how this website can't be useful to anyone in the teaching field. The best part is the collaborating of teachers and administrators from all over. The best teachers are hungry to keep learning themselves. Times change, this is a great way to see how to keep up. I think it can be especially beneficial for new teachers so you have a possible variety of veteran teachers mixed in with newer teachers and gain the best from both.
