ALEX and ACCESS

It is a picture of a book with rainbow colors all over it
ALEX---Alabama Learning Exchange, has tabs that are telling about the courses of study, web links, lesson plans, personal workspace, professional learning and podcast treasury.I clicked the Health/Physical Ed tab and a list of links going from k-12 gave tools, games and a variety of info to help/show me how to get my students ready for true physical education. It helps to show that physical education isn't just a class that's taken or known as a place of recess. It's the class of being or getting physically fit.
I believe that ALEX is a good source to use simply because you can have and view almost everything you need to at one web link. Some teachers may not be very organized or have the time to keep up with certain things, this is what they need to be introduced to. This will be a good source to be able to use in the classrooms.

ACCESS---Alabama Connecting Classrooms,Educators, and Students Statewide,provides classroom courses and teachers via technology.The Alabama ACCESS Distance Learning Initiative was launched on November 1, 2004.The goal of the distance learning plan is to create equity through additional educational offerings for all Alabama public high school students. ACCESS is available to all Alabama public high school students.
There are many teachers that have been in the e-learning course just for this.It has an even bigger future ahead.
