A word about technology...

In order to ensure Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) is delivering an optimal academic experience to all of our students, the integration of instructional technology is critical to a 21st century education. Not only is instructional technology advantageous for current university students but the approaches incorporated in teacher education programs at NEIU set the stage for current and future educators to utilize instructional technology in the classroom with Chicago-area students.
