I think that the Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS) is a wonderful tool. The best part about ACCESS is that it will provide courses to many low-income areas that otherwise would not be able to get/attend courses. I think that by providing these courses at the high school level, students would have less of a financial burden should they continue on to college. I love the idea of Videoconferencing. Having attended many Video Teleconferences, I can attest the the usefulness, and ease of the process.
Using technology, students everywhere have access to quality education. I can see it as a great way of ensuring all students get high quality courses. Web-based courses in my opinion are a thing of the future and I'm sure as Educators, they'll come in very handy. I know that we will only improve from here. I would definitely recommend this tool to fellow teachers.

Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is an awesome tool for teachers. It comes with Courses of Study, Web Links, Lesson Plans, Personal Workspace, and information regarding Professional and Distance Learning. I would have to say that ALEX is a wonderful tool for teachers, both new and old, but especially for new teachers. I recently had to use it for making a lesson plan. But it's more than just a format for getting and or making a lesson plan, it also a good place to save some of your ideas for lesson plans for others to use. I really like the way that ALEX breaks down the Course of Study for each Subject at each grade level. As a first time visitor to the website, I was truly impressed and very pleased.

I believe that the Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS) is a wonderful tool as well. I can see it as a great aid to get education to students everywhere. Web-based courses in my opinion are a thing of the future and I'm sure as Educators, they'll come in very handy. I think that the Professional Learning section is good also. It give you a source to go to for help with professional development. I would definitely reccomend this site to others.
