ACCESS

I recently looked up ACCESS and was very surprised at what I found. The idea of having distance learning in K-12 rooms is amazing to me. I really like the many advantages like duel-enrollment and classroom support that this new technology offers. I also find the video-conferencing aspect of this program very exciting and can't imagine what my high school life would have been with it It is very important to make sure that students in this day and age can use the rapidly growing technology properly and in different ways. I also really like the different support groups that are avaliable for teachers too.

There are many websites from all over the nation that are there in order to better support teachers who are new to the different advances that ACCESS offers. Classrooms with this type of technology are also very different than everyday classrooms and would also need support from more experienced teachers. So with this type of technology avaliable for teachers one would be better able to reach out to teachers across the state that have been using such advances in order to fix whatever problems may arise. I really think that ACCESS is a very ingenious plan and will be a great tool in moving Alabama state schools further into the 21st century.
