Alabama Connecting Classrooms and Students Statewide

According to the website ACCESS is a distance learning initiative that provides high schools with basic courses, advanced level courses, and electives that might not otherwise be available. Students in all locations should have adequate technology training and the opportunity to learn at their maximum potential. ACCESS uses online and interactive video conferencing technology to link classrooms and offer coursework to students in all schools throughout the state where those courses may not be available.
The website shows a video recording of Governor Bob Riley and State Superintendent of Education Joe Morton giving their full support and encouragement of this program. Supt. Joe Morton stated that rural and low income area school students will be given equal access to courses and teachers as a result of the implementation of this program.
As a future teacher, I believe this is another great asset for the Alabama School System that will motivate students and build their confidence academically and boost their technology skills.
