"DID YOU KNOW?"

This video absolutely amazed me. I guess we all need to pack up and move to Great Britian. LOL I can see the reason for this presentation. Educators in general need to step up and teach for today's world.

There is so much technology out there. We can not continue to teach in a desk/chalkboard setting and expect to be the best nation in the world. I, as a teacher, will strive to do my best to help my students in this area.

ACCESS

ACCESS is a very useful tool. It was first introduced to Gov. Bob Riley on November 1, 2004. It allows students in the State of Alabama to take courses during school hours that could potentially count as credits to college. To be an ACCESS teacher, you must be highly qualified.

ACCESS is free to the State of Alabama. It allows students to engage in Advanced Placement (AP), elective, and other courses to which they may not otherwise have access to. I was truly amazed by the amount of course offerings.

ALEX

Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is an online educational resource tool for the education industry. Offering many ideas for the classroom, ALEX is easily accessed. It offers different course studies for all grade levels and subjects.

ALEX also offers lesson plans for teachers. Students and teachers all benefit from ALEX as well as some of the other online education tools. I will for sure be using this website in the future!!!
