Blog Post Number 13

For this blog I went to the ALEX Teacher Created and Thinkfinity Resources website.  alex.state.al.us/index.php This place was well constructed and laid out.  The website was divided into eight sections were teachers can get information on any number of subjects that range from (Personal Workshops, Creating lesson plans, searching the web, and Professional learning tools.)  All this information at the hands of a teacher is very important for us as educators.  The reason being we will always have access to the information we need to construct our lesson plans and also search the web for additional information.  This way we can give our children the best education that we possibly can.  Also this is a gateway to more information on projects, events, and lesson ideas for us from the ALEXville section of the workshop.  This technology is the way that we as teachers will use to construct our lessons and ideas in the near future and personally, I cannot wait till I can take advantage of it.

I love the course of study section because this area will give us access to examples of classroom lessons and websites on everything from Math, Science, History, and Foreign Languages.  This will not only save us time and energy, but will enable us to give our children a more knowledgeable and well rounded educational opportunity.  This web site used in conjunction with blogging could really help our children learn more from teachers.  This information would also work excellent at supplementing our classroom material that is mandated by the state.  This is just one of eight great sections that are geared toward teachers expanding their knowledge and understanding out of college.  The last thing I would like to point out is the web resource section of the ALEX website that gives information on teachers, administrators, and student web sources.  This information will be useful for finding peer to peer information, professional development information, and student based ESL for English as a second language students.  I will use this information before I even graduate college and will highly recommend that all teachers use this wonderful resource tool that is at our disposal.
