I'm losing my mind...?

I can totally see how researchers are finding ways the internet is enabling. Instead of spending time in a library researching a topic, one can go to google, type in a few words, and there are hundreds of topics related to these specific words. The internet can definitely be looked at as a lazy mechanism for people to find information fast, but isn't that the benefits of technology? The more educated and technological the world becomes, the less we have to work and the more we depend on machines to do the work for us. However, using the internet can also stimulate parts in the brain that wouldn't have stimulated otherwise. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you have to take the good with the bad and personally, I'm not going to stop using google or any other internet site. Well other than pornographic sites that is ;)

ALEX

No, I do not like a guy named Alex...However, I do like learning facilities that provide an extensive amount of useful information while allowing free time!

ALEX stands for Alabama Learning Exchange and it is a database shared by teachers to provide extra education for students. ALEX extends its program from k-12. It has more a 21st century curriculum to expand teachers and students technological experience. Parent's can also actively involve themselves in their child's schooling, which is helpful for adults too! Teachers post their lesson plans on ALEX as well as links and other useful websites that provide valuable info. ALEX also extends it's area of educational information through a very broad selection of academic subjects.

ACCESS to what?

Hello. I've been told you are interested in ACCESS. You're asking what is ACCESS and why are all those letters capitalized. Well, have no fear! I am here to free you from your curiosity. ACCESS stands for Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide. That's a whole lot of information right? wrong. There is much more to be learned and ACCESS is here to help. ACCESS is a utility used to guide students further into their education while helping teachers expand their professional careers.

ACCESS is available to high school students with online web-based classes and/or videoconferencing. Online classes are entirely online. The benefits include increased responsibility for student, as well as a sense of accomplishment with the online journals. Student's can also review the course however many times is needed. Videoconferencing includes a more realistic classroom with the E-Teacher on a monitor. It connects students together from different schools and it allows the teachers to "team teach." You're probably asking, what will this extra education do? Well, it provides access to an advanced diploma and helps motivate students to find their own "right" techniques for learning efficiently.
