ACCESS

ACCESS is an acronym for Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide. It is a program that is spreading throughout all Alabama high schools. It is a program that allows students to take classes online and interact with other students from different schools around the state. Right now, only a few schools have the program, but they eventually want all 500+ schools to have it. Teachers can teach classes via video-conference or over the internet from nowhere near their home school. It's Kind of crazy when you think about it.

This is another example of how advanced technology is getting. I can't decide if I like this program or not. It takes away from the traditional appearance and environment of schools, but it does give students and teachers access to the most technologically advanced form of education. So it can't be that bad.
