ACCESS was made to provide additional education by internet to students and to help teachers. It is not just online courses it is using technology to help enhance instruction. There are alot of schools already participating.
Teachers in the future will be able to mentor online. Extra funds will be provided for teachers plus better computers and equipment. Videoconferencing will be used for different teachers to be able to teach anywhere. E-teachers will be available online for students which is a help when they study.

ALEX and Teaching.
I know that I will be usin ALEX when I become a teacher. It is an easy to navigate site that has useful inormation that is vital to a classroom. The course of study section seems like the most important. This will be something that is used when figuring out what standards need to be met in each grade I will be teaching. It is great they have it online like this to help teachers.
The lesson plans section is also another great section that I will surely be using. All I have to do when planning a lesson is go to this website and find all these different options. I like that there is a library section under the professional learning. It is nice to have easy access to the Alabama Virtual Library.

Alabama Learning Exchange has eight different sections when you log on the website. You can click on one section and find any subject to look through. The web links tab brings you to a section that helps you choose between teacher or student help. There are lesson plan, search, personal workspace, distance learning, and help tabs also.
Once you click on any one of the tabs you will be brought to a second page with lots of information on each subject. Any information you need to know about what you should be teaching. There are many tips and helpful hints to have you able to find your information quickly.

Shift Happens...
The fact that technology is growing is not a new concept to me. When hearing this on a regular day I would see it as exciting. The way the information was shared in this video made everything sound intense and almost scary. Knowing myspace and text messaging are growing so much shows me that people want to find any way they can to get out of interaction with others. Also, to know that India and China are far more advanced and smart than any other country seems frightening. This especially seems frightening seeing as how the United States Government acts like our country is the "powerhouse" of all countries. I realized that was a dramatization in the past but never knew the extent until this video. All in all, the video was an eye opener showing me that everything I just learned and will learn soon to come will be outsourced in a very small amount of time. I would sum it up as discouraging.
