Introduction
Virginia Beach City Public Schools implemented the Computer Resource Program in the fall of 1998.  This program assigned a Computer Resource Teacher to each elementary, middle, and high school to be available for instructional, administrative, and technical support within the school.  The C.R.S.’s primary responsibility is to promote and assist the teachers and students with the integration of computer technology into teaching and learning. Computer Resource

Lab
At Windsor Oaks, our Computer Resource Lab offers our students 25-networked Compaq computers, 1 Umax color scanner, and 4 Hewlet-Packard Professional color printers.  Our school network affords every students Internet access in both the Computer Resource Lab and each individual classroom.  Also housed in the Lab are a Hitachi digital white board, Zenith presentation television, and MegaTechnologies presentation projector which allow for the viewing of a computer screen by the entire class.  Computer Resource time is available bimonthly for every class.  Additional time is available at the teacher’s discretion.  Fifth grade classes are blocked a fifty-minute visit, while the remaining grade levels receive a forty-minute block.  Time in the Lab is imperative to meet the Virginia Computer/Technology Standards of Learning, implemented by the state of Virginia to increase the technology knowledge of our students.
