ACCESS

I think that Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide (ACCESS) program is a great way for students to expand their learning to higher levels. Access is a state wide funded program that allows students to take advance placement courses, electives, and other courses that their schools may not offer. Access offers Web based courses and Interactive Video Conferencing (IVC). You are able to interact as if you are in the classroom with the teacher.
I really thing access is a great opportunity that all students and teachers should take advantage of. I’ve had my personal experience with video conferencing in a college classroom. Even though the teacher was not physically present she could see and hear us and we could hear and see her as well. So my experience was great.

Alex

This was my first time visiting The Alabama Learning Exchange (Alex), and I think that this site will be very helpful during my first years of teaching. Alex is very useful for teachers of all grade levels. This site will be great and should help assist you with organizing and learning a daily routine. Alex also provides a great breakdown of math, language arts, science, social studies, and many other subjects. The breakdown provides a detail of what students of all grade levels should be taught. The Alabama Learning Exchange also shows lesson plans, different courses of study that could be used to guarantee that all educational needs for each grade levels will be met during each semester. The personal workspace would also be a great source to store lesson plans and save different websites you may find helpful over the years.
Alex also provides different sites for professional learning and distance learning. The Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS) provides students with access to courses their schools may not offer. Access is a good way to allow students to learn more. I definitely plan to use Alex as my guideline to help build organization skills.
