Access


I think Access (Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide) is a wonderful distant learning program for Alabama schools. Access offers advanced diploma courses, additional courses that a lot of schools do not offer, advanced placement courses, and remediation courses. Distant Learning is where instructors and students can be in two different places at two different times and communicate through technology.

I think Access is a good idea, and the answer to a lot of problems in Alabama school systems. I don't think any child should be denied the opportunity to take a class just because it's not offered at their school. Through Access a student will be able to take any class they desire! Access can and will connect students across the state, or anywhere in the world through technology. Access seems like a step in the right direction and the missing puzzle piece to Alabama schools.
