ACCESS

The Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide (ACCESS) is an online database that connects students to classrooms and teachers over the internet. Students are provided wth the opportunity to take online classes such as advanced placement (AP) classes, advanced diploma, and dual enrollment classes. ACCESS has up to date resources for students and teachers that are skilled in their particular field. The mission of ACCESS is "to provide an infrastructure that delivers quality learning opportunites for all citizens". It allows students in low income areas who attend schools that may not offer the courses they are interested in, to take the the classes that they want.

I think that ACCESS is a great opportunity for both students and teachers. It provides students with an online connection to teachers who have years of experience, and it allows teachers to become more well-adapted to a society that is relying more and more on technology. It seems that it will work just as well as if the students were in an actual classroom, but at the same time it enables teachers and students to interact together with more resources. It will definitely become more and more necessary and helpful as technology becomes more present in society.

ALEX

The Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is a resource for teachers of any grade level to use. You can access this very helpful resource through the internet, and it provides teachers with things such as course studies, lesson plans, and even a personal workspace in which they can layout a specific lesson plan for their students. A teacher can use the Course of Study section to see exactly what each grade level should be learning and concepts that should be taught. In the Lesson Plans section of ALEX, teachers are given specific lesson plans that are modified to fit every subject of every grade. You can look up what concept is to be learned and then are provided with a layed out plan that you can give to your students. ALEX also provides you with links to other helpful resources online, which will broaden the amount of information and activities that you are able to give to your students.

This online resource is very helpful to teachers of any grade level. It is especially helpful to new teachers who may need to find specific lesson plans for a certain subject or course of study. I know that I myself will feel overwhelmed when first thrown into my first teaching job, but ALEX is perfectly suited resource that will lessen the stress of having to figure out lesson plans for every day of class. It will help teachers in every grade level, and will in turn help their students.

About me

Hi! My name is Bree and I am a sophomore at the University of South Alabama. I am majoring in Elementary Education, and I cant wait to start working with little kids! They are truly my passion, and I am so excited to begin teaching. I am currently living with three of my sorority sisters, and I am loving it so far. I am from Fairhope, Alabama, which is a really small town but I've grown to like it. It is pretty close to my school, which is why South appealed to me so much. I didnt think that I would like it being so close to home at first, but I've really been able to get involved in a lot of really cool things like my sorority and campus outreach, and I am probably happier now than I have ever been. I have amazing friends and an amazing family. I have two older brothers, a great mom and a really funny step dad. I have gotten pretty involved with intramural sports on campus, too. Im not that great at them, but they're a lot of fun and I've always loved sports. There's not really too much to me. I'm a pretty simple person and can sum myslef up like this: I love chocalate and macaroni (but not together), I hate cats, am deathly afraid of snakes, and I love music. My favorite color is blue, I love the beach and being in my pajamas. I dont like wearing tennis shoes, but I love sports. I love being outside, I am slightly obsessed with the sky. I hate getting dressed up , but i love wearing dresses, I sometimes contradict myself, and finally I have freckles, a lot of them!
