Anybody in the education field knows how hard it can be. From having to write you daily lesson plans to making sure you cover the required course standards it can be overwhelming at times. There are many great websites for educators today, but there is one that truly surpasses them all!
The Alabama Department of Education has designed and programed an awesome website for teachers, as well as students and thier parents. The offical site is http://alex.state.al.us, but it is commonly known as ALEX. This site is a great way for anybody to learn more about the educational programs and policies provided by the state of Alabama.
ALEX is so easy anybody can use it and be successful! The website is designed in eight different categories: Course of Study, Web Links, Lesson Plans, Professional Learning, Personal Workspace, Distant Learning, Search, and Help. The Course of Study index has all of Alabama's required standards for every grade level and subject. Web Links has tons of great websites for teachers, administrators, and students. The Lesson Plan index is a place where one can look up a lesson plan or create their own. Professional Learning index has support and advice groups available for educators. Distance Learning is an index for information about the ACCESS programs. Personal Workspace is great because teachers can create an account and have their own profile. As you can see this website is filled with educational provisions!
As a student majoring in education, I have already used ALEX many times. It is reassuring to know that when I do become a teacher I will be able to accomplish so much more with the help of this website!!

All About Me
Welcome to my blog! My name is Jilli Wilcoxon and I am 21 years old. I live in Fairhope, Alabama with my wonderful husband, Andy, and our 8 month old baby boy named Wright.
I was born and raised in Fairhope, so I guess you could say I am a small town girl! I graduated from Fairhope High School in 2006. I attended The University of Alabama my freshmen year. I am a junior at University of South Alabama where my major is Elementary Education. I am taking all night classes this semester at South and I hope I will be able to juggle school and spending time with my family. I cannot wait to be out of school and in the classroom teaching! I have always wanted to be a teacher, and love working with young kids!
I enjoy spending time with my family and taking walks on the bay. I also have a black lab named Bo. I am very close with my family, as they all live in Fairhope too. I am the middle child and have an older and younger brother.
I have only taken a few education courses but I have enjoyed all of them. I hope you all enjoyed reading a little bit about me!!
