Recognizing the role of technology in the learning process of students, Lenovo Philippines launched Think University, an initiative that eyes to empower partner schools to provide an enhanced and more interactive learning experience through a grant of 10 units of ThinkCentre M73 Tiny Desktop to select colleges and universities. By purchasing a certain number of Lenovo computers, a school can qualify for the program.
“Lenovo believes that empowering the youth through quality education is vital to nation-building. Think University is part of our efforts to leverage our innovative devices to aid the academy in enhancing the overall experience,” said Michael Ngan, country GM of Lenovo Philippines. “We hope that through this, our partner schools can create an immersive, interactive learning environment for their students.”
Ngan said that an improved IT infrastructure in schools can further boost learning in the classroom.
“Technology today enables students to learn at their own pace. Almost all educational apps allow for individualized instruction and there are plenty of legitimate resources that can be accessed anytime on the Internet. With this, students can learn according to their abilities and needs. This form of teaching is also great for the teacher because it gives him or her the time to work individually with students who may be struggling,” said Ngan.
Knowing that improved education technology leads to better teaching opportunities, Lenovo also aims to assist educators. The products enables teachers to deliver more dynamic lessons by providing reliable access to the latest online multimedia materials and connecting their PCs to interactive online classroom boards. Administrators can also update policies and procedures on the overall network in real-time, maintain up-to-date emergency plans and increase collaboration among staff for school-wide initiatives.
ThinkCentre M73 Tiny Desktop features 4th Gen Intel Core processors, making it a good fit for school use. Moreover, the model comes with an advanced heat regulator and green design to help lessen energy use.
