ACCESS ATQS (5)(c) 3.(i)

AlabamaConnecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide program is a positive and exciting new way to allow students to learn in the less traditional settings of a classroom. ACCESS is what I would call a new form of teaching because it is basically a class that is taught via the internet. Students are now able to take classes they otherwise would not be able to take in their high school. Now ACCESS provides highly trained teachers to students who may not have certain classes available to them that would give them dual enrollment credits or even an advanced diploma. ACCESS allows students to sit in their class at their school, but watch and learn from another teacher in another classroom via audio or visual. (t.v).

If you are interested in becoming an ACCESS teacher you must go to the Educators area of the ACCESS website and fill out an application. By doing this you may be able to teach students that otherwise would not have been introduced to this type of teaching. I believe if students are taught via ACCESS it may spark an interest in teaching, technology or science. It is something different to them and may allow them to become more involved in the class. Not only can students watch a teacher teaching a certain subject but it allows them to communicate with other students. Students can watch labs that they would not be able to participate in. This is a great resource for any teacher to be able to use at whatever school they are teaching in.
