How can technology empower education? On the trend of future school reform in the new media era.
Trend 1: The educational paradigm is changing to include online learning, blended learning and collaborative learning. Now, students spend a lot of time studying on the Internet and exchanging information with their classmates and friends. Compared with traditional classrooms, online learning environment has many advantages. For example, when students have stronger digital learning skills, they will have more opportunities to participate in collaborative learning. This requires schools to adopt the mixed learning mode of face-to-face teaching and network as much as possible, so it is necessary to strengthen learners' network communication ability formed outside knowledge learning.

Trend 2: Social media is changing the way people communicate, express opinions and information, and communicate with others. Educators, students and even the general public usually use social media to share the latest events, opinions and interesting information and materials. At the same time, scientists and researchers are also using social media to release their latest achievements to the society. This shows that social media has become an effective information resource platform to attract people's attention. What impact these changes will have on school teaching remains to be judged, but it is an indisputable fact that social media is widely used in the whole education field. For example, in the West, teachers often use information platforms such as Facebook when communicating with students, while Renren.com, Sina Weibo and QQ Group, which are popular in China, have become indispensable tools for different groups of teachers and students to share information and exchange feelings.

Trend 3: Openness-the concepts of open content, open data and open resources, and the concepts of transparency and accessibility of data and information-is becoming a new value. The word "openness" is often used in various educational occasions, but it is often mistaken for "freedom". Advocates of open education are striving to form a common vision, that is, "openness" is not limited to economic "free", but also has the characteristics of free reproduction, reorganization and barrier-free access, sharing and application of educational resources.
