Laptop Program
Urban’s approach to technology is purposely holistic: technology skills and related computer projects are integrated throughout the daily curriculum to foster active, student centered learning. At Urban, technology is used to enhance communication, collaboration, organization and production in all classes, rather than being taught as a discrete subject.
All students and teachers are issued laptop computers for school and home use. Student computers (currently Apple MacBooks) come fully installed with all the software used throughout the curriculum. Many peripheral items are available for student use, including flatbed and film scanners, digital and video cameras, various printers, and a variety of other equipment fully supporting most any multimedia project.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“The first man to discover Chinook salmon in the Columbia, caught 264 in a day and carried them across the river by walking on the backs of other fish. His greatest feat, however, was learning the Chinook jargon in 15 minutes from listening to salmon talk.”
—State of Oregon, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
