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:
“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
