NSU provides Wireless Internet capabilities

By Jonathan Dallis


       Hot spots of wireless Internet are available at the fingertips of NSU students throughout campus. Technology has evolved rapidly over the years; along with it student learning styles have also. No longer forced to only sit behind a desk or a book, to study or to do research, students can now go anywhere they choose and still get the information immediately.
       The NSU campus has kept up with technology and has provided free wireless Internet throughout the campus, allowing students and faculty to be free and choose their own study environment. There are multiple hot spots on the Tahlequah campus, such as the Library and the UC, giving students a wireless learning environment.
       “All of my classes are in the Business and Technology building, so I normally use my phone or laptop to check Blackboard or work on a project that is due,” said Sean Sharpe, Fort Gibson senior.
       Without being restricted to only using desktop computers, students can stay on top of grades, projects and receive immediate e-mails.
      “Sometimes my professors e-mail me about an upcoming project or if class in canceled, with Internet on my phone I can check the messages without fighting for a computer,” said Sharpe.
      With cell phone plans allowing customers to use Wi-Fi networks, it seems to be a waste not to take advantage of the network provided while on campus.
