If I were going to teach in Alabama I would find ALEX very useful. As a new teacher it might be difficult to come up with lesson plans, since I never have had to do them. I could use ALEX to create my plans online and have them evaluated. If I was having a hard time trying to get the students to learn something I could go to ALEX and find ways that other teachers have taught it. ALEX doesn't just contain the main core subjects it also has other subjects areas. Since I am not very good when it comes to art, I may use the site to look up Art Education. I may have to teach art myself since most schools do not have an art teacher.
I would also use several of the other websites ALEX has listed under Web Links. Here I can go to websites to look up Bullentin Board ideas and more lesson plans. I can find theme units and worksheets. Finding worksheets is a plus if I have a child that needs a little more practice on something. Through these other websites I can find information from teachers all over the United States and not just in Alabama. Most importantly I would use ALEX to make sure I am keeping up with State Standards.
I find that ALEX is useful not only for new teachers but also teachers who have been teaching a while!
