If I were a teacher

If I were a teacher I would use ALEX to help make lesson plans and find out other information about different subjects. There are several examples of lesson plans that you can choose from and the variety would make learning for the students more fun and hopefully more interesting. It also offers some great examples of hands on projects you can use to get the child motivated. If a child is able to do something and not just listen about it, they will be more likely to remember the material.

The site also has information for teachers about grant opportunities. A teacher at a school I work for obtained a grant to plant trees and other plants that are native to Alabama. The children are allowed to help plant what is chosen. This will allow the children to learn about the plants and trees chosen and also to learn the skill of gardening.
