ACCESS

ACCESS is an advanced placement opportunity for high school students. ACCESS stands for Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide. According to accessdl.state.al.us, "ACCESS provides high-quality classroom courses and teachers, via technology." This new computer based program is designed to provide advanced diploma courses, offer additional courses, advanced placement, dual enrollment, remediation, supplemental resources, boost existing sources, and provide teachers with extra multimedia and technology tools, etc.
ACCESS also provides teachers with additional resources. It gives technology help, motivational tools, and allows you to share your own insight with others. Teachers can also download "videoconferencing, virtual field trips, and can participate in them." Also teachers can download brochures and presentations. All of this can be accessed through ALEX. It appears to be a great teacher resource.

Video Conferencing can save the schools a bunch of money since they won't have to send their teachers far. Time and money management at their finest!

Technology is a great way to incorporate different learning elements into your classroom. I am excited about exploring all that ACCESS can offer us.
