NMU President Judi Bailey actively endorses the need for technology in education. Beginning in the fall, full-time undergraduates at NMU will be issued IBM ThinkPads.
Technology is an indisputable wave of the future.
Just as Northern's high-tech learning environment will give students an edge in today's competitive job market, the governor's plan for laptops and Internet access will give teachers more options for communicating, doing research and sharing educational resources with their students. It is a wise investment. Bailey said NMU has invested a significant amount of time and resources in wiring the campus and preparing faculty to incorporate technology into the curriculum. As evidenced by his proposal, our governor also recognizes and supports the integral role of technology in education. ThinkPad is a registered trademark of IBM Corporation.
