What I Think About ACCESS

ACCESS, Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators and Students Statewide is a program that allow students to participate in courses at otherThis is called Distance Learning. For example the student can take a Latin course in a Dallas High School. This type of learning allows the students to expand their educational needs. One objective for ACCESS is to expand this type of learning all over the state of Alabama.

My View on ALEX and ACCESS

The Alabama Learning Exchange is basically a database where educational material can be downloaded by teachers from all over Alabama. The teachers interact with each other and share ideas about their classroom. The database runs from grades K-12 and cover all types of subject and course material.

Alex also supply students who have limited courses at their own school to participate in ACCESS, Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators and Students Statewide. This is called Distance Learning. For example the student can take a Latin course in a Dallas High School. This type of learning allows the students to expand their educational needs. One objective for ACCESS is to expand this type of learning all over the state of Alabama.

My view on Alex is that is will be helpful to me because I may have a diffcult lesson that I am teaching my class that they might not be grasping onto. I could access ALEX and try to get pointers from other teachers who have completed the lesson.

Getting to Know Me!

Shaundretta and her husband, Curtis


Welcome to my blog! My name is Shaundretta, I go by Shaun for short. I am a Junior at South where my major is Elementary Education. I love to teach. My preference is First or Second grade. When I was little, I would line up all my dolls and stuffed animals and play school! My first choice for college was Tuskegee University where I had a Presidential Scholarship. My options became limited once my now husband and I found out we were pregnant with our first child, Amya Ariel Crenshaw.
