ACCESS

ACCESS or Expanded Learning Opportunities through Technology in Alabama is to provide higher quality classroom courses and teachers through technology. The website is very up to date with the latest news that is happening in the state of Alabama Education system. The power point provides a very clear expectation of ACCESS. ACCESS is focused on the high school students because there are many schools that are not able to provide the higher level classes like trigonometry. The power point provides the Vision, Mission, and the goal of ACCESS.

The site may be very useful to secondary school teachers. It is very easy to navigate, and easy to follow. ACCESS does present a great amount of resources and fun facts that a teacher would like to know while being in the classroom. The statistics that are listed in the power point might inspire a teacher to increase the learning opportunity that is given to the students, and better their education.
