How i might use ALEX

As a student myself i like to work with others and compare ideas and help each other out with assignments and study together. I learn best through discussion and hands on stuff as well as studying alone only when it comes time for an exam. So, ALEX would be very useful to me in that i would use it to get ideas from other teachers and compare mine with theirs as well. I think especially at the beginning of my career i would want to think of exciting ways to teach and gain my students attention so i would know what would work for their grade level and what wouldnt. I think that everybody needs a little help and advice in the beginning and this is a fast and easy way to connect to those in the same profession as you without even leaving your home or school.
I would like to introduce it to my students too to make sure they knew there are resources like this to help with areas of interest or problems for them in their school subjects. It also teaches them to use and rely on the internet more and get excited about learning. I think the Distance Learning feature would be useful for kids who might get bored with the curriculum and wanted to be more challenged in class. ALEX would offer more advanced studies if their school did not offer any. I would definitley use the Personal Workspace option because i am constantly trying to find ways to organize my work and store it in a place i know it will not get lost or destroyed. Overall i think i would have everything i needed as far as outside help in my teaching career with ALEX right at my personal computer, how convenient.
