Alex is a website based on the Alabama state course of studies made for teachers so that they can plan their lesson plans around the states requirements. The website also gives examples of lesson plans made by other teachers. The parents of the students have the choice to go on the site and help the child meet school expectations. The activities are made to promote student activites in classrooms and most activites are supplied by Verizon Foundations.

From personal experience, my sister is a High School teacher in Mobile county and curriculums are supplied for teachers, thus the ALEX site is useful but not nessisary. Mobile provides its own curriculum guide for all teachers that instutes specific teachings and fundamentals for student grade requirements. Ultimately ALEX is a helpful site for teachers looking for curriculums for educating students, yet is not nessary for some countys in the state of Alabama.
