As one of the leading PC manufacturers, Lenovo Philippines recognizes the growing role of technology in the learning process of students. This is driving force behind the company’s newest initiative, the Think University.
This initiative aims to empower partner schools in providing an enhanced and more interactive learning experience. Qualified colleges and universities are granted 10 units of ThinkCentre M73 Tiny Desktop just by purchasing a certain number of Lenovo computers.
“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 general manager of Lenovo Philippines. “We hope that through this, our partner schools can create an immersive, interactive learning environment for their students.”
Through the use of Lenovo computers, students are given to access technological resources that will strengthen their learning experience. It will also allow them to engage more fully in class activities and access worldwide databases with ease, acquiring competence in technologies that are relevant to their studies.
Ngan explains 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.
Understanding the challenges and knowing improved education technology leads to better teaching opportunities, Lenovo also aims to assist educators through this program. 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 is a compact computer packed with the same reliable and powerful performance one expects from bigger desktops. It features 4th Gen Intel Core processors as well as plenty of storage and memory, making it a good fit for school use. Moreover, the model comes with an advanced heat regulator and an ultra-efficient green design to help lessen energy use.
