Correcting Links that do not work

The four most important reasons that links do not work are:
1. The links are not correctly spelled.
2. Nothing is placed between the two parts of a tag. He will demonstrate. Apple's Web Site. which you may find interesting.
3. You forgot to include http:// in the address. It must be included.
4. Sometimes Google doesn't like a / at the end of an address.

ACCESS

"ACCESS" is the Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators, and Students Statewide Program. ACCESS provides additional educational resources to all public high schools in Alabama. All the resources are via technology, such as the internet and video-conferencing. Resources include advanced diploma courses, remediation, advanced placement courses, and dual enrollment. It also provides teachers with additional multimedia & technology resources.

This would be great for my future classroom, especially if the school has limited resources. Although I don't plan on teaching high school students, this would be excellent for the elementary school as well. Since everything is so modern today, many students will learn better working with modern technology. ACCESS also expands the styles that teachers can teach students. Every student doesn't learn the same. I think it is an excellent idea.

ALEX

"ALEX" stands for Alabama Learning Exchange. It can be found by visiting http://al.state.al.us. This web-based program includes a variety of valuable information and resources for educators of every study. It also has web links for students of all ages. There are several lesson plans for all subjects that teachers could use in the classroom. It lists several professional organizations for educators, and it even has the web link included. Any teacher who may be interested in developing professionally would be able to find some useful information here. It also allows teachers to create an account where they can store lesson plans and their favorite web links. This program will really come in handy when I begin teaching. I really like that it has some great lesson plans, and they have already given me some other ideas. The student web links can allow me to have computer-based lessons in class. I also plan on joining some of the professional organizations that are shared on the site. I would recommend every educator to visit this site.
