ACCESS

The Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide (ACCESS) is an outstanding program for students. ACCESS offers students the opportunity to take courses that they may not have access to at their own school. AP classes, electives, as well as remediation for the Alabama High School Graduation Exam are all offered on this website.

ACCESS uses three methods of teaching on their website. They offer Web-based, videoconferencing, and blended classes. Students are allowed the opportunity to take these classes during the day at their school just as if it was a regular class. All of the classes are taught by an Alabama certified teacher and in each class the students can connect with kids from other schools.

I think that is such a great program. I which that it would have been around when I was in high school, it would have given me the chance to take more AP classes. I could defiantly see this program being very beneficiary to lots of students as well as teachers who want to teach these types of classes.
