ACCESS

ACCESS is a program that was developed by the Alabama Department of Education to aid students in the Alabama public school system, and give them the oppurtunity to participate in classes which otherwise, they would not have been able to. To do this the ACCESS system uses the internet to provide a technical infrastructure which can deliver system approved courses to students statewide. Primarily the ACCESS system is giving an oppurtunity to students to learn more and have a greater education then they would have, mostly through the use of the internet and special courses.
I think ACCESS is a great tool and will love to be able to use it in my classroom one day. As it stands now I am going to be working at a private christian school that does not have the ACCESS program, but hopefully one day that will change. I think it would be a great oppurtunity for the students in my class to get to experience studying online with a bigger group of people, and to give them greater oppurtunities to learn and expand their knowledge with more than just being inside of a classroom.
