ACCESS (what a great resource)

ACCESS stands for Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide. This program allows the student to view courses and teachers using technology. This program uses distant learning through technology to bring new and more advanced courses into classroom that do not have the resources (teachers or funds) to offer the courses. It uses websites and video conferences to connect to students statewide. This resource allows to internet to connect students to teacher and students to new educational opportunities.
ACCESS seems great. I have never had the opportunity to use or see ACCESS in action but I can imagine that it is detrimental to helping all of the state's communities get more educational needs met. I would love to see ACCESS in an actual classroom setting. Anything that brings more technology into the classroom is an important and valuable asset to our state education program.
