The website for the Alabama Learning Exchange is a great resource for teachers. The website si broken into several different section to make what you are looking for easier to find. The first of the sections is Course of Study. This section has the ALCOS broken down by subject and grade level. The second section is titled Weblinks. This section has web resources for teachers, administration, and even students. Here you can also submit a web resource that you would recommend for others. The next section is for Lesson Plans. You can search lesson plans by author, title, or school. You can also find lesson plans by subject and grade level. There is also a section for Professional Learning. This section has links for ALEX and Thinkfinity training opportunities. You can also search for grant opportunities. There are also web links to find professional development opportunities, teaching and learning tools, and best practices for things like leadership and evaluation, ELL's, Response to Instruction, Special Education, and more. Another section titled Gallery 360 Podcast Treasury is a great resource for teachers and students. It has podcasts by others that can help you teach lessons. The podcasts are even linked to a lesson plan that can be found on the site. ALEXVille is a blog. The "ALEXVille News" highlights things added to the site as well as important news and updates. The last and most important section to me is Personal Workspace. In this section you can sign up for a free account which allows you to create a personal workspace for storing and submitting lesson plans, teacher web pages, and podcasts.
I think that this website is a great resource for teachers. You can store all of your lesson plans and podcasts among other things. You can share podcasts created by your students, lesson plans, or your website with other teachers in your school, in your district, or across the state.
