ALEX In My Classroom

When I begin to teach, I intend to use ALEX in my classroom for assignments. ALEX contains a wide array of valuable lesson plans that may be used for this purpose to being some variety and fun into our regular workload. I found two interesting Language Arts assignments where students will be able to choose between creating digital stories in cooperative groups using multimedia tools or studying the myths of nature and creating a graphic representation of these myths. I plan to use this website with my future students in the morning hours, because the site slows to a crawl by midday and may slow down our lecture.
