ALEX is a database of lesson plans created by teachers. It is split into all different subjects. Also teachers can upload and save their own lesson plans. This program makes finding a different lesson plan easy.

I think that this is awesome for teacher, new teachers especially. With the database teachers can search through all the different lesson plans and find the best one for their class. Also with the ability to upload and save your lesson plans. This is great teachers can access their lesson plans from any computer.

ACCESS

ACCESS is a program in with students can take a class that is usually not offered at their school. This help students a smaller schools be able to get the same education as students as students is big, well-funded schools. The schools systems can save money by having less teachers, teaching more classes. It also makes being able to teach classes in different places all around the world at the same time with the same teacher possible.

This is a great program. Except for the fact that teachers will be needed less and less. Technology is taking jobs away from teachers. I know technology is great and is helping make teaching more accessible to more students. But eventually teachers will not be needed and with means less jobs. It makes education more accessible to students in poorer schools. It's great now, but what will it hold in the future.
