The Importance of ALEX and ACCESS

The internet is a very important tool for teachers to use, because there are many great and useful websites to help them. The first website that I would highly reccomend to teachers is ALEX, which stands for Alabama Learning Exchange. The other site I found very useful was the ACCESS (Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators, and Students Statewide) website.

You can find the Alabama Learning Exchange website by clicking here: ALEX On the ALEX website, teachers can look at lesson plans as well as find other websites with lesson plans. You can also talk with other teachers online. The ALEX website is not only useful for teachers. The website also includes links for administators and students. Also very important on this website are the links for teachers to continue their education with profesional learning.

The other website, Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators, and Students Statewide, can be found by clicking on this link: ACCESS The ACCESS website stresses the importance of distace learning, which helps students to prepare for high school and college by using the internet. The website includes information for students, educators, and parents. By using ACCESS, teachers are bringing the use of technology into their classrooms.

After looking at both of these websites, I think both are very important. I could definily see myself using both of these once I start teaching. I believe that by using these websites in my classroom, I will be able to benifit both me and my students.
