How to integrate information technology with curriculum and optimize classroom teaching?
Information technology, with network technology and multimedia technology as the core, has penetrated into all fields of society more and more widely and has become a creative tool to expand human capabilities. Of course, if education wants to keep up with the development of the times, it must strengthen the integration of information technology and curriculum. Change the original curriculum system that overemphasizes the subject system and is divorced from the development of the times and society, and explore new curriculum teaching with curriculum integration as the basic concept, information technology as the cognitive tool, learning process of various subjects as the carrier, and cultivating students' information technology storage and promoting students' comprehensive quality development as the purpose. Because of this, the integration of information technology and curriculum has become a beautiful landscape in the reform of basic education in our region. This paper will make a preliminary discussion on how to correctly and scientifically understand the meaning and purpose of the integration of information technology and curriculum, the wonderful classroom brought by the integration of information technology and curriculum, and the problems that should be paid attention to in the process of practicing the integration of information technology and curriculum. I. Significance and purpose of the integration of information technology and curriculum The so-called integration of information technology and curriculum means organically combining information technology with subject teaching and integrating information technology with subject curriculum. It is precisely because information technology can not only enrich the audio-visual experience, but also turn abstract things into concrete, sensible and vivid things. It combines images, sounds, words and the flavor of the times. Teachers can enrich students' knowledge, broaden their horizons and make their classes attractive by using this media. Therefore, as an important tool of integration, information technology can improve the effect of teaching and learning and change the traditional teaching mode. The purpose of the integration of information technology and curriculum is to reduce the division of knowledge and the isolation between disciplines, and to unify the different knowledge systems needed by the educated. This integration is a harmonious interaction, but it is not equal to mixing. It emphasizes that before using information technology, efforts should be made to find out where information technology can improve the learning effect, so that students can complete things that cannot be done by other methods or have poor results. Its basic feature is interdisciplinary and based on ability training. Second, the integration of information technology and curriculum makes the classroom more exciting. The integration of information technology into curriculum teaching is not passive, but actively adapts to the development of curriculum and harmoniously integrates with it. As an indispensable condition in curriculum reform, its rapid development will inevitably lead to a learning revolution, which will enable teachers to update their teaching concepts, create a learning environment, improve teaching models and change evaluation methods. Make the class more exciting. 1. The integration of information technology and curriculum will revolutionize the course content. The rapid development of information technology and the enrichment and sharing of network resources will impact the traditional curriculum content. It will no longer be a single printed product such as books and teaching materials, but also include network and audio-visual products. Qian Xuesen, a famous scientist in China, has the following expression on future education: "Future education = human brain+computer+network". The expansion of curriculum content and the development of curriculum resources create a learning environment for students to explore and develop their learning, and provide rich learning resources. By studying ideas, I reorganized the relevant information and formed my own opinions, which is conducive to developing my own personality, stimulating my own creative thinking and achieving the goal of "learning to learn". At the same time, learners can communicate or consult with experts and teachers through the communication function of information technology. 2. The integration of information technology and curriculum has brought about the reform of curriculum implementation. In the information-based education environment, the status of teachers as knowledge givers is weakening. In the teaching process, teachers are only organizers, instructors, promoters and consultants, while learners' dominant position is fully reflected, which will give full play to students' initiative, enthusiasm and creativity in the learning process. Students are regarded as active participants in the process of knowledge construction, and many learning goals and tasks need students to actively and purposefully obtain materials to achieve. 3. The integration of information technology and curriculum has brought about a revolution in learning methods. Information technology provides us with an open practice platform, and learners change from traditional receptive learning to active learning, inquiry learning, research learning and digital learning. When the learning goal is fixed, students can achieve it by integrating different tasks, and each student can also use different methods and tools to complete the same task. This personalized teaching strategy is of great help to give full play to students' initiative and carry out differentiated learning. At the same time, many students who have different views on the same problem need to complete their tasks on the basis of exploring collaborative learning, and the network is providing the best platform for this learning method. 4. Information technology and curriculum integration promote curriculum evaluation. The integration of information technology and curriculum will bring innovation in evaluation concepts and methods. Information technology can be used as a tool for self-testing, which is conducive to students' self-feedback (self-evaluation) and mutual evaluation among students, and can also be used as a means of electronic evaluation of teachers. Similarly, qualitative evaluation and quantitative evaluation can be combined through the network, and formative evaluation and summative evaluation can be combined. Therefore, the integration of information technology and curriculum optimizes the evaluation process and innovates the traditional viewpoints and methods of curriculum evaluation. Three, the practice of information technology and curriculum integration should pay attention to the following issues: 1, information technology into the curriculum, not simply applied to teaching, but should create an active learning situation, create conditions for students to maximize contact with information technology, make information technology a powerful cognitive tool for learners, and finally achieve the purpose of improving learning with information technology to maximize the expected learning effect. 2. The integration of information technology and curriculum, its main body is curriculum, not information technology. In teaching, we can't use information technology for the sake of using it, or even at the expense of the realization of curriculum objectives. We should choose appropriate information technology based on the curriculum objectives and promoting learners' learning. 3. The integration of information technology and curriculum cannot completely deny the traditional teaching methods. The renewal of teaching methods and means should not only inherit and carry forward excellent traditional experience, but also fully embody the spirit of the times and innovation. In the process of integration, teachers should strengthen learning management, extra-curricular counseling and attach importance to the cultivation of basic literacy. When the traditional teaching methods can achieve good results, we can't deny the traditional teaching methods and use information technology rigidly. 4. The integration of information technology and curriculum puts forward higher requirements for teachers and students. Teachers in the information age must have higher quality. It is necessary to accurately grasp the treatment of teaching materials, the characteristics of students and the reform of teaching methods. At the same time, we should actively study relevant education and teaching theories and strive to improve our own information literacy, that is, the ability to obtain, select and process information. Because the simplification of information has become diversification, students have changed from passive acceptance to free choice, independent exploration and cooperative communication, which may make some students lose their way in the "ocean" of information and make the classroom uncontrollable and complete. Therefore, the integration of information technology and curriculum also puts forward higher requirements for students: higher learning awareness, stronger self-control, stronger independent learning ability, stronger cooperation and communication ability, etc. 5. Information technology and curriculum integration should start from scratch. The integration of information technology and curriculum is a long-term and huge project, which requires the long-term joint efforts of all parties. Therefore, in the practice of integrating information technology with curriculum, we should not aim too high, but start from bit by bit. We should not only be brave in innovation and exploration, but also be good at summing up past experiences and lessons. We should not only learn information technology, but also deeply understand the true meaning of subject teaching. Of course, there are inevitably some shortcomings in the initial stage of the integration of information technology and curriculum: the opportunities and time for direct communication between teachers and students in the classroom need to be increased; Students' awareness of self-participation and self-restraint needs to be strengthened; Sometimes too much information resources delay students' time of analysis and thinking and cover up their process; Sometimes some basic knowledge is ignored in practice and so on. However, this does not weaken the role of information technology as a booster for education development, nor does it affect the dominant position of information technology in the information age.
