A bit about me...

Hello! My name is Kristen Younce and I am a sophomore at the University of South Alabama. I plan to graduate in December 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. When I graduate my goal is to get a job in Baldwin County teaching kindergarten.
The classes at South have required me to search for helpful tools and webistes for teachers. Some of the teaching tools that I found and plan to incorporate into my classroom are the use of blogs, the Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) website, iGoogle home pages, and other informative websites.

Using Alabama Learning Exchange as a Teacher Tool

I think that the Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is a great resource to use in the classroom. ALEX is a website for students, teachers and administrators. Tools that are available on this website include course of study, lesson plans and other helpful teacher links. I think that the most valuable tool on this website for new teachers is the lesson plans link. The lesson plans link allows teachers to search through numerous lesson plans based on grade level, subject area, or by using keywords. The lesson plans link also provides teachers with information about national, state and local standards as well as learning objectives. I think that the ALEX website is resourceful because the lesson plans provide teachers with all of the necessary information to carry out lessons. For example, all resources, materials and equipment needed such as computers, paper, pencils and etc. are listed. I know that this website will be a great tool for me to use as I complete my degree in Elementary Education.
