Alex

Alex is a web site that teachers use to instruct students in the class room. It is designed to to break down the curriculum of any subject that a teacher teaches. Alex gives good example for lesson plans and different assessments to use in the class room daily. Alex is a useful tool to use for not only first time teachers but also teachers that have been teaching for a long time.
My over all opinion of Alex is very satisfactory. The website is set up very easily and is organized in a way that even a child can understand how to use it. Alex is a good site.

The website is broken up into different expansion sitess. These sites are titled Plan and implementations, where it discusses that different plans for that year and the objectives, what they plan to do. The website is a very useful tool for teachers to use in and outside the class room. Especially for uper high school students.
