Access/Distance Learning

Access stands for Alabama Connecting Classroom Educators and Students Statewide! Access provides students the option for course work off the Internet. It is available for grades 9-12 in Alabama public schools. With our economy the way it is now, this program is a plus! A school that lacks certified teachers, can use this program. The students will have online classes, like our local colleges. Access is for Students and Teachers. Teachers can use access to enhance learning. Students can take diploma courses, advanced courses, or take remediation courses if needed.

Alex, a virtual classroom!

Never have I heard of the Alex web site! Alex stands for Alabama Learning Exchange. Governor Riley proposed the Access idea in 2005. Access stands for Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide. That is exactly what it is! It is a video conferencing and web base learning center for students and teachers. Students can link to classrooms and course work, that their school may not offer. For teachers there are lesson plans, articles, the info is endless! There are all kinds of things to keep the children excited about learning!
Alex definitely brings more to the classroom! I never knew this web site existed! It is exciting to have this much information at my fingertips! As a teacher, I want to keep my children interested with new, fun, and exciting things! I can download articles, craft ideas, games, the possibilities are endless!

Welcome!


Welcome to my blog. My name is Delana Bemis. I am a Student at the University of South Alabama and majoring in Elementary Education. Currently I work at Lambert's cafe. I worked there before, for 6 1/2 years! In November of 2006, I quit to start my own business. It's a liquidation store, with overstock, closeouts, and returns. I recently decided to go back to school and finish up, so I'll be closing my store! Things have been great, this far! I am married to a wonderful husband, Alan for five years. He works for Distinctive Products and installs hurricane shutters. We are hoping to extend the Bemis family here soon!
