ACCESS

ACCESS seems to be a great new tool for educators to use in the classroom. ACCESS offers many opportunities to teachers as well as students. during high school there can be many different scenarios that can make it difficult for students to keep up their work which can make a difference in graduating or not. ACCESS offers these students an opportunity to catch up their work allowing them the chance to walk with their classmates.
ACCESS also is great in many different ways. For example, it offers advanced level courses that may otherwise be unavailable to students. Like I said earlier, it is great for those students who need to accelerate graduation or make up courses. It gives students confidence in technology skills and it allows the opportunity to interact with other students outside of their own school. It minimizes teacher shortage and alos improves grades. ACCESS offers interactive and web-based education to students and teaches students and instructors 21st century technology. Experiences with ACCESS has been mainly positive and 82% of teachers and staff reported that virtual school experiences were as good or better than other, traditional courses.
