More and more rural children "integrate" into the classrooms of famous teachers in famous schools through the Internet, and see a wider world.

Full network coverage

"The Internet expands the channels for rural children to acquire knowledge and promotes the development of rural education"

  Outside the window, the lush greenery looks like a summer scene.

In the classroom, the atmosphere was warm and the children were a little excited.

  The 11-year-old Mi Bailing looked at the big screen in front of the classroom seriously. On the screen, there was a live projection of the tropical rainforest thousands of miles away.

This is a multimedia art class at Dongtai School, Xuanhe Town, Zhongwei City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

  From small blackboards to large classrooms and electronic screens, Dongtai School has changed a lot in recent years.

"The Internet has expanded the channels for rural children to acquire knowledge, promoted the development of rural education, and opened a window for children to look out." Li Yanan, an art teacher, said with emotion.

  "It turns out that the tropical rainforest looks like this. I have to study hard, go out of the village, and see the real rainforest." Mi Bailing held a crayon and drew a big cloud on the notebook.

  Accelerating the construction of school network infrastructure and improving the network teaching environment are the foundation of education informatization.

It is understood that by the end of 2020, the Internet access rate of primary and secondary schools (including teaching points) nationwide has reached 100%, and schools that are not connected to the Internet will be dynamically cleared.

As of the end of 2021, 99.5% of primary and secondary schools across the country have multimedia classrooms, more than 4 million, of which 87.2% of schools have achieved full coverage of multimedia teaching equipment.

  Nowadays, online classes in the multimedia classrooms are very popular in Dongtai schools.

Math teacher Li Yunyi was teaching probability and statistics. Several display screens surrounded the classroom, and students sat in them, watching the 3D model on the screen intently.

  The remote connection to this math class is a key school in Ningxia-Yinchuan Tanglai Huimin Middle School.

After the first half of the course, teachers from Tanglai Huimin Middle School will continue to teach.

"We have at least 10 online classes a week. Educational informatization breaks down resource barriers and allows students to access more high-quality content." After the class, Li Yunyi tapped a few times, and on the multimedia display, not only the classroom The course review of the course, and more related teaching videos are also displayed.

  "Information technology helps education fairness, which needs to be built on the basis of sufficient bandwidth in rural schools and guaranteed actual use conditions." Zhang Zhiyong, a professor at Beijing Normal University, believes that the enthusiasm of all parties to participate in the construction should be fully mobilized, and the network should be accelerated and fees reduced. Informatization "last mile".

Multiplying high-quality resources

"In the online classroom, everyone can freely choose the teachers and courses they are interested in"

  Click the mouse, open the "DingTalk" software, find "Online Open Class of Education Bureau of Xinhua District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province", enter the famous teacher's class, choose online class, and after a while, the teacher's lecture will appear on the screen.

  Zhang Yaoting, a second-year student at the former Dubei School in Shijiazhuang, sat at his desk, listening carefully and taking notes.

  The teacher on the screen is Wang Yuling, a teacher of Shijiazhuang Airport Road Primary School with more than 20 years of teaching experience.

Not long ago, after review by the Xinhua District Education Bureau, Wang Yuling's class was uploaded online for students to learn at any time.

  "Mr. Wang's lecture was very interesting, and one class passed before I knew it." Zhang Yaoting was very excited to hear the "Classroom of Famous Teachers" at home.

  In order to promote the balance of education and help the sinking of high-quality educational resources, in September last year, the Xinhua District Education Bureau opened an online open class column, regularly uploading high-quality courses, and using the Internet to build a new path for urban and rural sharing of teaching resources.

  "For rural schools like ours, online learning has become an important part of supporting daily teaching," said Gao Xueyan, a former teacher at Dubei School. "When children study with students from other schools on the screen, they are especially happy. .And in the online classroom, everyone can freely choose the teachers and courses they are interested in, which greatly improves the children's interest in learning."

  "Many online open courses are specially set up for rural children. When recording courses, we will also focus on the acceptance of students with weak foundations." Wang Yuling introduced that recording an online course usually takes a week to prepare, "In order to ensure the quality of the course , Before the class is recorded, colleagues in the teaching and research group will discuss and write lesson plans together, and strive to present the best quality lessons to the children."

  "Continue to increase the supply of high-quality educational resources, ensure that teachers and students in schools in areas with weak education share high-quality resources, and educational informatization is promising." The relevant person in charge of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Education introduced that with the help of the "one teacher, one excellent course, and one teacher for one lesson" activity, A large number of high-quality digital education resources have been integrated and developed, with more than 21 million teachers participating and sharing 20.12 million classes, covering the entire basic education stage.

In addition, the national smart education platform for primary and secondary schools was officially launched not long ago, providing a total of 17,492 course teaching resources with 450 volumes of textbooks in 19 versions, which teachers and students can use freely.

Integrating information technology into teaching

"Informatization provides teachers with advanced teaching concepts and methods, injecting more vitality into the classroom"

  "Students, do you know about Liu Zongyuan's life? Please watch an animation first." At Qingquan School, Qingquan Town, Guidong County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, Chinese teacher Zhou Haiyan opened the carefully crafted courseware and taught the text "The Story of Little Stone Pool".

  "Animals are lively, interesting and engaging, and they can quickly grab students' attention, which is much better than a dry talk. Multimedia teaching is indispensable," Zhou Haiyan said.

  And more than a year ago, when Zhou Haiyan first became a teacher, the huge "whiteboard" in the classroom was just a decoration for her.

"One chalk and one lesson plan, the feedback from the class is not satisfactory." Zhou Haiyan was very troubled by this.

  In late September last year, things took a turn for the better.

Zhou Haiyan participated in the "National Training Program" Guidong County Primary and Secondary School Information Technology 2.0 Improvement Project Workshop.

After online and offline training, she learned to collect online teaching resources, make multimedia courseware, and present language knowledge points in multiple ways.

  "Rural schools are faced with the problem of weak teachers and low teaching level. Information technology provides teachers with advanced teaching concepts and methods, injecting more vitality into the classroom." Chen Bin, principal of Qingquan School, said, "We put high-quality online courses As an important part of teacher training, ability training, and daily assessment, it guides and motivates teachers to learn from high-quality course cases, optimize teaching design, enrich teaching content, and promote teachers' professional growth."

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Education, more than 10 million teachers have been trained in the National Primary and Secondary School Teachers' Information Technology Application Ability Improvement Project. A total of more than 30,000 people have been trained in training courses. More than 80% of primary and secondary school subject teachers nationwide use information technology to carry out teaching activities, and teachers' information literacy and application ability have been steadily improved.

  After researching, grinding, and accepting expert guidance, Zhou Haiyan has now mastered many "tricks" to interact with students, and her teaching ability has been further improved.

"For the more obscure and difficult subject knowledge, I will design some small games to make learning more interesting." Zhou Haiyan said, "After the integration of information technology into classroom teaching, students prefer to take Chinese classes, and the learning effect is also better. already."
