Week 2

Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is a free site to help teachers, students, and even parents of Alabama. Teachers can go into ALEX and find many different things to help them teach. Lesson plans can be found for K-12 teachers helping them get a different view of what to teach in their classroom. This program is to help better the overall teaching programs in Alabama.

Students can search different topics of study and find many different things to help them learn the subject. Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) helps teachers resource different things for student and also helping them in their classroom. This is an online program so students can access the program anywhere, not just the classroom.

ACCESS, Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide is another program helping Alabama better their education program. The programs lets students take programs online that they are not able to take at their school. This program takes technology to the next level and uses it for good. K-12 students will not have any limitations to their education anymore.

These programs are wonderful in the production of a better education program. ALEX is something that everyone in education can find useful. The ACCESS program helps student widen the possibilities of education. It also lets all students in Alabama be on one level of education. This level is at the highest point it has ever been at and the possibilities are endless.

Hopefully this program will help not only Alabama but also other states. If it is found that these programs help raise the education levels other states will slowly be moving into programs such as this. When more people get involved with these programs the more improved they become. All of this is to help better the student in every way possible and the learning potential is great.

First Post

Hello my name is Lauren Lewis. I am 20 years old and I can't wait to turn 21. I am from Lake Charles, Louisiana. I love it in Lousiana it is amazing and I will definetly end up there when school is over. My mom wants me to go back home and finish school but I made a big leap and came to south. I hope all goes well this year and I can stay in Mobile.

My first two years of college was in Mississippi at Jones County Junior College. I just transfered to USA this semester and so far I like it. Jones County was great fun but very very small school and there was nothing to do but get into trouble. I tend to have fun without putting much thought into what I am doing, but all in all I am level headed.

I have played softball since I was five and I am still going to play until someone tells me I can't, or I hurt myself. I am in secondary education math. Math is my strong subject but I don't find it "fun". When teaching school I want to coach the softball team. Softball is what I find enjoying and fun but also hardwork.

I have two sisters that are everything to me and I miss them alot. I love hanging out with my family when I am home, and if I am there long enough I go to the clubs with my friends. I have one dog and she is the biggest wennie dog I have ever seen. When I am not at school I like to get online and watch tv. My family is my support system and I don't like doing things that they don't agree with.

I like meeting new people and having fun. I love to go out and dance. I am looking forward to doing alot of that here at south but I am not familiar with the area so it will take sometime. I am very outgoing and easy to get along with.
