ACCESS

I just reviewed Alabama’s Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide (ACCESS) program website. What an awesome site. Having this resource for the students of Alabama (and other states, I hear) expands the educational opportunities within our schools and certainly benefit any students who dare to “think outside the box.” Course selection was great and courses are being added all the time.
As an educator, I think the benefits of the site can be directed to all our students. All students will benefit from the exposure to this new educational delivery system. Distance learning has been used within our military for years with great results. Our school systems need to embrace this also. As teachers, we should encourage students to investigate this resource and use it to their advantage.
Advance students will enjoy access to greater course selection and students who may need help in a subject will find it on ACCESS. What’s not to like….
