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:
“Like other cities created overnight in the Outlet, Woodward acquired between noon and sunset of September 16, 1893, a population of five thousand; and that night a voluntary committee on law and order sent around the warning, “if you must shoot, shoot straight up!””
—State of Oklahoma, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
