How to improve information technology teaching by using micro-courses
Information technology refers to a technology that can complete the functions of information acquisition, transmission, regeneration and use. It can master skills through teachers' intuitive explanations and simple demonstrations, and then through students' independent operation exercises. Compared with other traditional disciplines, information technology courses have obviously different characteristics:

(1) Fundamentals: The setting of information technology courses will lay a good foundation for students to effectively solve practical problems in the future.

(2) Development: Information technology courses started late, and all aspects are not mature enough, and they are constantly changing and developing.

(3) Practicality: Pay equal attention to operation and knowledge, process and result.

Micro-course is a new teaching mode based on information technology course, which accords with the cultivation and development of language, space, music and other intelligence emphasized in the theory of multiple intelligences put forward by Harvard psychologist howard gardner. The information technology classroom consists of several short and pithy micro-lessons. If the teaching link can be made into a micro-course, students can choose their own learning content according to their personal interests and abilities, so as to achieve the purpose of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, making up for personality differences, and checking and filling gaps.

For the fourth-grade students, information technology is unfamiliar and they don't understand the learning content and significance of this course. At the same time, information technology is familiar, and they equate this course with "playing computer". How to teach information well, how to grasp the characteristics of fourth-grade students' love of playing, how to master information technology knowledge in playing, and how to improve information technology literacy are issues worthy of our consideration. Now that there is a new thing, micro-class, how to make good use of this medium to improve students' autonomous learning ability?

The course "Image Copy, Flip and Deformation" that I teach is a computer painting course for the fourth-grade students of information technology. Through this course, students can understand the importance of setting up information technology courses and feel the magic of computers, thus stimulating their interest in learning. Information and information technology are relatively abstract concepts. The teaching focus of this course is not to let students learn computer painting at once, but to let students experience information technology and feel its charm. Because the fourth-grade students have no intention to pay attention to their advantages, their attention is unstable and not lasting, so I put the design of this class in the first place. Through the novel design, students can like the content of this lesson, so as to better implement teaching.

Comenius said: "Interest is one of the main ways to create a happy and bright teaching environment." Since students are interested in games, let them stimulate their willingness to learn by playing games. In the first part of the micro-lesson, I created a game situation to let students see the teacher's seventy-two changes. This aroused students' interest, and they actively participated in the game, breaking the traditional teaching methods. Students not only have fun in this teaching environment, but also feel that these are all information in a subtle way, which lays the foundation for later study. The second part mainly takes task-driven as a breakthrough, and strives to make students complete the tasks designed by teachers and achieve teaching results. The design of the task makes students eager to try, thus making the classroom teaching present a good situation.

Modern pedagogy tells us that the main contradiction in the teaching process is the contradiction between the teaching goal, that is, the needs of students' development and their current development level. Therefore, education must carry out information technology teaching to adapt to social development. As an information technology course, the teaching content should be close to the reality of life, so that students can not only feel that life is around, but also feel the importance of learning and mastering information technology. Dewey said, "Life is education". In teaching, we should choose cases close to students, enrich the teaching content, attract students' attention and cultivate their interest in learning. In all aspects of teaching, we should be targeted, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and extend the teaching content to students' daily life, so that students can feel the ubiquitous existence of information technology in their lives and be more interested in learning this course.
