ACCESS

ACCESS (Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide) was established by the Alabama Department of Education. It allows for high school students to seek higher education courses that may not be offered at their own school. It's especially helpful to students of rural or underbudgeted schools, allowing them the same educational opportunities as others and preparing them for college.
ACCESS also allows educational opportunities for teachers to use in grades K-12. Teachers can access videoconferencing resources allowing their students to experience places and things they may never get a chance to experience otherwise through virtual field trips. Teachers can find a wealth of information to help them motivate their students.

Students sometimes get bored with the same ol' classroom environment. I really think that incorporating this other methods of teaching will really keep our students interested in learning.
