Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators & Students Statewide (ACCESS)


Along with ALEX, ACCESS is a great tool that can be used for future and current teachers. ACCESS's main goal is to create equity through additional educational offerings for all Alabama public high school students. ACCESS is great to use for students to prep for a major test. You can use ACCESS to get ready for a graduation exam for example. ACCESS can be used as an actual class participation so long as you have a computer.

There are plenty of resources available on ACCESS, such as the Alabama Virtual Library, ALEX, chemlab, and more. A good feature in ACCESS is Connecting Access Staff and Teachers (CAST). Some things that come from this feature are; open source technology information, supplemental reading and interesting links for distance learning tips, helps for ongoing changes in the Desire2Learn Learning Environment, chat room for teachers and staff only, discussion boards and content specific blogs, and content specific group collaborative tools.
