Google

I agree with the article on some parts like, it is very easy to get the information from search engine. Also, the Internet does not challenge our opinion because we can type in what ever we want and the search engine will only show us what we typed. I so not know if our reading is effected by Internet or not, because I tend to enjoy reading on Internet more. I do not like to read book.
I do not think that Internet is changing our brains, it is just making things easier for us.

ALEX

ALEX is website that has free lesson plans available for teachers. It also tells the teacher which standard the lesson plan is meeting. it also separates the topics of any subject, which makes it really easy for teachers.
Teachers can go on this website and communicate with other teachers. They also have forms on the website, where teachers can go and type in the problems they are having teaching a subject. The website also provides teachers with web links which can help them in organizing their class and lectures.

I think it is a very good website for teachers, especially for new teachers. The new teachers can use the material on the website, which can help them in them betterment of their classroom. I liked the way they have the lesson plans on this website, it makes it very easy for teachers.

ACCESS

ACCESS is the abbreviation of Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide. It is very useful for Alabama public high school students because it provides them with opportunity to get access to courses that are not offered in their schools, with the help of this program teachers/instructors can teach the students online through internet resources. This program also makes a good use of modern technology. According to ACCESS website there are 194 schools participating in this program. The goal of ACCESS is on the ACCESS website which is,To provide additional educational offerings for all Alabama public high school students.(http://accessdl.state.al.us/RegionalMeetingsPPT.pdf)

I think it is a great opportunity for students to learn the subject that are not offered at their school. however, as a student myself I think it is very important for students to have face to face meetings with their instructor.
