Good evening readers! Tonight, I am writing about the ACCESS (Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide) program. In this blog post, I am going to discuss what ACCESS is, and why it is beneficial to Alabama's high school students.
According to the official ACCESS website (which can be viewed at http://accessdl.state.al.us/), "ACCESS Distance Learning is an education initiative of the Alabama Department of Education". The ACCESS website goes on to say, "It provides opportunities and options for Alabama public high school students to engage in Advanced Placement (AP), elective, and other courses to which they may not otherwise have access". Essentially, the program offers state approved Internet-based instruction and coursework - as well as gives Alabama high school students another option ( especially in situations where the school doesn't offer the course as a part of it's curriculum or cannot find a qualified educator to teach the course - from a physical standpoint).
Overall, I feel that the ACCESS program is a great benefit for both Alabama high school teachers and students. For teachers, the program provides a new way to incorporate technological advancements into an educational setting. For students, the program not only provides educational quality and accessibility - it gives them the chance to experience online learning.
As a teacher, I would not only use the ACCESS program as a tool to better educate students regionally - I would use it to help give other students, living within the state, the chance to receive a quality education.
