ACCESS

The ACCESS program is designed to give all high school students the opportunity to have equal education and advance their education via the internet. A student in any school can take a variety of classes; most are advanced classes that may not be offered in their home school. The student is in a classroom environment and is taught by another teacher at another school via the internet. The two classes are able to communicate and interact with each other and with the teacher live through video feeds.
This program also opens many opportunities to teachers as well. Teacher's are offered training if they are interested in becoming an instructor for ACCESS. They can widen their technological skills as well as gain more knowledge into the subjects they are teaching. Probably the best advantage for teachers is that you can reach students miles away and give them a better opportunity in life. These students are kids that may never have the chance to take classes like these and graduate more prepared for the world today.
