ACCESS

The ACCESS site is a great asset to Alabama high schools. It will help a lot of students to be able to keep up with the rest of their class and to graduate on time. It is a great program because it allows student to have distance learning in which they don't have to be in a classroom to participate. They can do it from the comfort of their own computer.
The program will also prove invaluable when it comes to summer school. Because when a student fails a course, they are able to make it up online. It also offers remediation courses which allows students to prepare to pass the graduation exit exams. Students will also be able to make up credits missed as well.

How I plan to use the Alex Website

I plan to use several of the tools on the ALEX website. I especially think that the lesson plan builder is a great tool. Not to long ago, lesson plans were written out and it was a much bigger hassle for teachers. However, now the ALEX website makes it much easier and less time consuming for teachers.
I also plan to use the professional development tool. That way I can stay up to date and current with what's happening in today's world of education and I can further my knowledge as well. I also plan to use all of the really great web links on the site. They all lead to a wealth of useful information.

The Alex Website

When I become a teacher, I plan to utilize all of the tools included on the ALEX website. There are so many different helpful tools to choose from. Such as: the various web links, sample lesson plans, personal workspace, a lesson plan creator and professional learning. I intend to use several of the web links because they help link you to very important information that you might need to know, from lesson plans to ways to get grants for your school.
One of the neatest features on the site is actually the "course of study" tool. When you create your lesson plan, you then go to the "course of study" tool and figure out what your actual course of study is. It helps you to stay on track with Alabama's guidelines. and it is just so simple.

Did You Know Movie

I thought the movie was very informative. Technology is advancing so fast it is going to be hard to keep up with it. I also thought it was interesting that people in other countries speak more English than in the U.S.
