Information about ACCESS

ACCESS, or Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide is a Distance Learning Program created by The Department of Education. The Program gives high school students in Alabama the opportunity to take Advanced Placement electives such as Foreign Lanuages, and Mathematics. Also, the students have the opportunity to sign up for courses that are not offered at their school, by taking the course online. This program provides teachers with the technology that they will need to enhance their lessons, that they give to their students.
Furthermore, the ACCESS Distance Learning Program also, provide different resources for the teachers as well. Consequently, this program provides a teacher brochure, which explains the steps of becoming an ACCESS teacher, and the benefits of becoming an ACCESS teacher. Next, the program provides teachers with videoconferencing events; for example, teachers can virtually participate in field trips. Moreover, I believe that this is a very educational program that should be used by teachers and students all over Alabama.

The one thing I think is really important is how user friendly such websites are, and I believe that ACCESS is.
