ACCESS for Teachers

ACCESS, Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide, is a great resource not only for students but for teachers. Teachers have so many options with today’s technology to motivate their students. With ACCESS teachers can share ideas and expand their own teaching skills by using this resource. This is also a great way for students to be taught how distance learning works. This is an important skill necessary for college bound students since many courses in college are taught this way. This website not only gives learning strategies but also ways to evaluate online learning.

Through this resource, teachers can grow professional by gaining new knowledge and experiencing another school’s culture. This is of great value to a teacher. By experiencing new ideas helps keep a teacher from “burn out.” This resource allows teachers to be a part of team teaching, but with teachers from other schools. ACCESS is a great tool not only for the students we teach, but for us as teachers. Education has come a long way from the one room school house.
