ACCESS

I recently reviewed an online program titled ACCESS which is an online learning program for both students and teachers. It offers many advantages to teachers in each program. I was rather impressed with alot of the programs it offers. It also includes funding for many different technologies. Overall, I found it to be very professional in its approach to combining online sources with actual classroom learning.

Teachers will find this helpful because it provides much support for teachers, and statistically it has benefited students greatly. It will teach both students and teachers 21st century skills, and provides grants for schools to incorporate these programs. The program seems like it could only benefit schools, while not diminishing any aspect of the school.

I see that this program could ultimately help me to better educate my students. Teachers in general need to be able to use current technologies to their greatest ability.

After reviewing the resources available to teachers through this website, I have came to a conclusion about the usefullness of this website. Many resources are available online from this program, including entire lesson plans and links to useful media for classrooms. I started by searching under the courses of study link, and then used it to find many potentional lesson plans for each of the standards in Alabama.

Also, this website is readily available to anyone who needs help with lesson plans. Students tend to learn more when they get to use computers and online technologies in the classrooms. This website also includes item for special education, learning english as a second languague, and many other professional learnings. If you make your own account, you gain a personal workspace.

Ultimately, I believe this website would be very useful overall when I become a teacher. It could provide me with sample lesson plans for each of the standards; as well as contributing me with tons of links to online resources. I think that using some of the tried and true methods in its lesson plans will ultimately help me to achieve my goal as a teacher.
