The development and application of information technology has completely changed the previous teaching mode of human beings. New teaching methods are emerging and gaining momentum. Multimedia, computer simulation, virtual reality and other new teaching tools have greatly increased the educational experience. Interactive programs can provide holograms of celebrities and virtual reality experiences of some exciting events. Students can choose to play Sir Francis Drake against the Spanish Armada or Napoleon who defeated Waterloo. A large number of complete sets of educational products have emerged and become automatic tutors. Facing students with different learning abilities and interests, teachers can use computers to prescribe the right medicine and manage them better. The information technology used in teaching even enables most students to acquire knowledge mainly through self-study. Computerized multimedia courses make it unnecessary for teachers to stay together as in the past and give guidance from time to time. Disabled people will be the special beneficiaries. As long as they are interested, people with mobility difficulties will be able to attend any course in any subject offered by teachers all over the world. People who are blind, deaf and paralyzed will have equipment that can make up for their physical disabilities to a great extent. In Florida, children can solve problems in their studies by telephone. This system can not only help students whose parents are not around, but also help those children who are too shy to ask questions in class.

In addition, information technology will enable children to start formal education as soon as possible. Interactive teaching can adapt to babies still in cradles, cribs and playpens. Playing video games can greatly stimulate early intellectual development.
