Students
Teachers integrate national technology standards (ISTE-NETS) in their daily lessons with the help of our media specialists.

Promethean Boards in Classrooms
Oakview classrooms are equipped with Promethean Boards. These interactive white boards are great instructional tools that allow teachers to show interactive "flip charts". Students and teachers may use writing tools to interact with the materials during the lesson. Teachers have access to math manipulatives, calendars, graphs, charts, maps, and a wealth of other tools that are available at their finger tips. They can also use the boards to show internet sites, stream educational video, show morning fitness, and the Owl News Network.

Distance Learning Lab
Opportunities in videoconferencing continue to grow and include virtual field trips, school-school collaborations, professional development opportunities, and author/illustrator visits, to name a few. Virtual field trips to date include domestic and international locations.

Stationary Computer Labs
Oakview runs three stationary compter labs with a combination of 70+ desktops and laptops. The computer labs are also equipped with a Promethean Board used to project the teacher's computer screen for all to see. Labs A and B are used for MAP testing at designated times of the year. Lab C includes our virtual field trip classroom. Students can access Compass Learning in all of the labs along with the programs listed below.
