Other classes have written their own books to be &#8220;published&#8221;, learning about language and storytelling. And still other classes have created musical instruments, written and conducted their own songs and truly brought their music to life.

It takes more effort to infuse the latest innovations into lessons, but the results are significant. Using new apps and tech tools and offering technology classes is standard here, and every day we expand what it means to get an education. Technology is meaningfully integrated across the curriculum as students use iPads to support their learning in reading, spelling, science, technology and math. By experimenting with the creation of avatars and animated characters and technology such as Bee-Bots students gain an early introduction to the concept of coding. Students also learn how to capture and share their learning on Seesaw, an online app that shares their learning journey in real time with parents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bef292 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"9bef292\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/learning-at-ua\/junior\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">learn more +<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af509b8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"af509b8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd64650 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"dd64650\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c438b56 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c438b56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/innovative-inline-004.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12163\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/innovative-inline-004.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/innovative-inline-004-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.urbanacademy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/innovative-inline-004-768x580.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6a91d7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a6a91d7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd7cd53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd7cd53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Middle School | <span>Grades 4 To 7<\/span><\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-922d579 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"922d579\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From Chromebooks and all kinds of educational apps, students learn through the innovations of today.

They also begin working with Google Classroom for projects and assignment that help build their technology skills and connect their in class and home learning. Students have access to the Makerspace which includes everything from Microbots and robotics games to 3D printers and vinyl cutters.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our Middle School Years also offer exciting opportunities in Robotics.

Urban Academy students are inspired to learn with technology &#8211; integrating ePortfolios and working within Google Classroom to explore new topics and present ideas. They are able to take ADST and Robotics courses and develop an extremely relevant skill while discovering the doors this skill can open. AI and its place in the world and education is also a signficant topic that is explored.
