ACCESS

ACCESS or "Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide" is a new technology that gives students in Alabama equal access to better learning opportunities. Students are able to enroll in advanced diploma and advanced placement courses even if the required courses are not offered at that individuals school. This is a really good thing because some schools, due to low incomes, cannot afford to offer some of the classes that are need for completion of advanced diplomas or advanced placement credits. There are two types of teaching the information when dealing with ACCESS. The first is web based, in which most information is through websites and contains allot of multimedia content. The second is videoconferencing in which is based on "real time" or live feeds. I think that ACCESS is really good for teachers that are teaching the "core" subjects. I really don't think that ACCESS has much affect on PE teachers.
