ALEX

ALEX stands for Alabama Learning Exchange. ALEX is a comprehensive website that includes Educational Web links divided into three categories, 1. Teacher, 2. Administrative, and 3. Student web links. There is also a link to all Alabama content standards. One can create an ALEX account which allows the user to create class or teacher web pages. Under the section of lesson plans, one can create his/her own lesson plans or access ALEX lesson plans. There are links to important Alabama Department of Education information, organized in a very easy to follow manner.
I will be a Special Education teacher. I think that this website will be very useful to me as a first time teacher to create lesson plans. I also think that the search feature on the Alabama content standards will make it easier to ensure that all content standards are being addressed. There is another section called tips and tricks with technology tips and tutorials. There is also a web link to ACCESS Distance Learning which I will describe in detail in the next post.

About me

I am 28 with 2 beautiful children. My oldest is Chayce. He is 10. Next, I have Kadin who is almost 4. I have a wonderful husband who does not mind being Mr. Mom at night and on the weekends so I can pursue my dream. I am so motivated and ready to graduate. I have been in college for way to long now and I finally have focus and know for sure that I want to be a Special Ed teacher.
I currently work at Robertsdale Elementary School as a Paraprofessional. I work in a classroom for Autistic children with behavior problems. It is a very rewarding job. I cannot wait to be the teacher in such a classroom.

This is so cool!

I am so excited! I have never done this before. I have always wondered how to start a blog. I honestly thought that it would be much more complicated and time consuming. Please feel free to read whatever I find interesting enough to post.
