ACCESS Granted!

The ACCESS program definitely is a great way to connect teachers and students through technology. This program allow for access to different courses that are not provided to teachers or students. This program is only available in high schools Giving the opportunity to expand the classroom outwards in to other dimensions is great. The goal of this is to increase students academic achievement levels by using distant learning methods. There is a down side to this, low income school cannot afford this program. This is a problem! Student's and teachers are being left out of this. Some of the courses that are offered are: Math, Language Arts, History, and Science. ACCESS combines Internet instruction and conference through video. This program is considered to a blended type learning program. I think that this is great for students and teachers to participate in. Teachers and Students have the opportunity to travel virtually without leaving the class. http://accessdl.state.al.us/
