What kind of discipline is educational technology?
Educational technology is an engineering specialty, which aims to train information technology teachers in primary and secondary schools and professionals in information construction in schools at all levels. This major attaches importance to the combination of technology and teaching-in the whole education process, it is the first step of teaching implementation: it prepares resources, equipment, means and paths.

This is a highly comprehensive subject, involving a wide range, which is in line with international cutting-edge teaching. Educational technology originated in the United States, and later courses were offered in China. One of the characteristics of learning educational technology is that it can combine media with traditional teaching, so as to achieve the expected effect that ordinary teaching methods have not yet achieved.

The main direction of this major is educational software and network engineering and digital media technology. The content of daily course study also involves all aspects, such as programming computer network, multimedia art design, educational psychology and so on. You can also choose professional elective courses according to your personal interests and the direction you want to develop, such as intelligent robots, JAVA, PS, photography and so on.
