ACCESS stands for "Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Student Services." ACCESS offers opportunities to students that may otherwise be unavailable to them. Students are able to participate in electives and Advanced Placement classes. ACCESS is just one tool that uses technology to improve classroom availabilities. Technology is so prevalent in our lives it was natural for it to become more incorportated in the school system. One objective of ACCESS when it was first created was to provide distance learning to any high school students. An advantage of ACCESS learning is that it concentrates on the individual's needs. Another plus of ACCESS is that it can help equalize the opportunities that high schools offer. I wish ACCESS would have been made more available to me at my high school, Daphne High School. ACCESS and other distance learning opportunities were not made available options to us. Teachers and counselors should be well informed about the program and should be responsible for encouraging students to participate in outside learning sources.
