The ACCESS program

ACCESS otherwise known as the Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide is a very unique program designed to connect student and teachers across the state. This program allows students to engage in certain enrichment programs and advanced placement classes that otherwise may not have been able accessible. Many different types of classes are available for students on this online program such as: Math, English, History, Biology, Creative Writing, Sociology and Health. This is a very wide range of topics and very helpful to students
I believe that this ACCESS program will help students now and in the future. It must be cool to be able to connect with other students and teachers during school hours maybe for some help or just a regular class. When I begin teaching, I will probably use this new technology to improve my and my students skills of what all can be done on a computer.

Monday 8-25 ALEX

The Alabama Learning Exchange also known as ALEX is a very useful resource tool used by educators as well as parents and students to enhance the learning experience. ALEX is a website designed to present teachers with a variety of lesson plans to fit their style of teaching. This program includes a variety of curriculums to choose from including: Art Education, Drivers Safety, Health, Language, Physical Education, and Technology Education, as well as the basic studies such as Math, English, History, Science and so forth. These massive amount’s of lesson plans are provided by the teachers for the teachers.
There is also another resource tool that is helpful to improving the education system as we know it. It is the ACCESS program or the Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide. This program allows students and teachers to communicate from different locations via the internet. It gives the students an experience like no other they are able to attend a virtual classroom or even go on a virtual fieldtrip!
I think that this boost we are having in technology is great. Many teachers and students can help each other accomplish things that in the past would have been impossible. When I become a teacher, I believe I will put these wonderful tools to work. I can go to a website and browse through a significant number of lesson plans and ideas until I find what is right for my class.

About me

Hi everyone, my name is Erica Sledge. I live in Perdido Alabama. I graduated from Baldwin County High School in 2005. Right after graduation, I began working at Subway where I am still employed. My first two years of college I attended Faulkner State Community College, my major was Pre-med, but I changed it to Elementary Education. I love kids, and I have been teaching Sunday school and Children's church going on 4 years. I believe that I will really enjoy being a teacher, because I am good with children and I have a lot of experience in the classroom with younger children as well as special education children. This is my second year at South, and I chose to come here because it is only about 45 minutes from home, and some of my family graduated from here. So far I have really enjoyed it here at South.
