ALEX in my Classroom!

As stated in my last post, I think that ALEX is just GREAT!! Teacher's already have such a load put on them and ALEX helps minimize the stress, time and work! Making lesson plans can be such a hassle, but with the help of ALEX it can be a little less stressful. Once I am a teacher, I definitely will use ALEX a couple times a week! The first year(s) of teaching can really be tuff so I will depend on this web site to help me make it!
The part of the ALEX site that I will probably find the most useful is the Courses of Study link. It allows you to make your plans and then add the COS last instead of spending a lot of time finding activities that follow the COS. I will also use it to find games and activities to help my students learn the material better because I don't like the concept of Burp Back Teaching--that's a whole other topic! Once again I love ALEX and can't wait to use it in my classroom!!!
