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.

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.
