ACCESS

ACCESS provides high-quality classroom courses, and teachers, via the technology. Some places have limited courses offered to students. Because they might cant afford it or other reasons. Their vision as ACCESS is to provide equal access to high quality instruction to improve student achievement through distance learning opportunities. They have web-based and videoconferencing as the methods of courses. The blended atmosphere will help the students to learn better.Videoconferencing is an audio/visual link between tow or more geographically remote sites. The class are are delivered by highly qualified teachers that have traditional instructional methods and expands the research of education. They have two different phases , Phase 1 is to prepare the master schedule and web site for summer and fall registration, and Phase 2 is a part of a pilot series.
ACCESS is a very good program that will help people where normally wont get it. Easy access for syllabus and lecture notes. modules. Efficient delivery of content , it also improves test scores. This program also increases the student responsibility of learning. This program also offers a unique opportunity for extended vertical dialogue between peers and instructor.
Overall this websit is very imformative!!!

Did you know?

This movie was very moving. I never knew that the United States is so far behind the rest of the world. In this movie there was some thing that really caught my eye. When the slide said that one average person will have ten to fifteen job before the age of thirty-eight. To me that is a lot of jobs for one person to have. It also stated that one out of four people has been on their current job less than a year. This holds true to today's society seeing as thought we are in slump. Another slide stated that children by the age of four will have used a computer for so many hours really shocked me. You always hear the older generation say things like, my new grand baby know how to use the computer and she is just months old. I feel that the United States is not ready for what is in store for us. We need to get our children ready for the twenty-first century, like all the other countries is doing around the world.
I think that in stead of building all the new schools we need to put the money to good use by offering better classes to prepare the students for the wold they will have to live in. Everything is so high tech that the older generations don't even know how to use things. If we as parents and citizens dont make a stand then this is not going to be a very bright future for our children.

I loved this movie

ALEX

For those of you who do not know what ALEX stands for it is Alabama Learning Exchange. There is a great amount of information on the website for ALEX. It offers lesson plans for teachers . The subjects are English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Arts and other technology courses. These lesson plans are done with great detail and have every thing that a teacher will need to conduct a lesson in the class room. There is also a place for teachers to have their own work space where they can personalize their lesson plans and other things dealing with the subjects they are looking for. There is also a place on this web site where you can go to different links to research different topics for individuals. This web site is very helpful for all types of teachers. Before this class i did not know ALEX even existed. I feel that as a future teacher this will be helpful for me in order to learn how to conduct my classroom to the standards of Alabama. On this web site there is a very helpful, help desk, if you have any questions about the web site or about a certain lesson that you want to teach it is there for you to get help.
