ALEX is a website that was created as a tool so that teachers, students, or parents can access it and find links, resource ideas, or lesson plans that will benefit the searcher. ALEX means Alabama Learning Exchange. ALEX is also made available for those students who wish to possibly take AP classes but their school cannot accommodate them. The student can go through the distance learning and access them online.The website is always changing to better serve those who need it. ALEX is made possible by the generous resources of many people and companies.

When you enter ALEX you can choose your subject, then choose the specific field of that subject. For example if you click on Science it will then give you a list to chose from with biology, chemistry, and botany. Once you select one of those you can then see which grades it is meant for, objective ideas, how many links there are to accompany the lesson and how many lesson plans also come with it.
