In District 123, technology is a tool that is utilized by staff and students to enhance the current curriculum. Each classroom teacher has a networked instructional workstation consisting of a multimedia computer connected to a wall mounted television for classroom display. Each K-5 building also has a networked eMac computer lab staffed by a trained technology assistant. Two mobile, wireless mini-labs of 5 laptop computers are available for use in each K-5 building. All classes receive at least one period of computer education each week.

Oak Lawn Hometown Middle School has four eMac labs where students learn computer skills, keyboarding, and word processing in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. The middle school also has 2 wireless mobile labs which are available for classroom use. In the Synergistics lab, students work through curriculum-based modules to build their technology and problem solving skills as they explore curriculum topics.

All of the district's buildings have internet accessibility. Each staff member has an e-mail account to use over the district's Wide Area Network as well as globally. For more information, visit our web site @
