The other is the practical school, mainly represented by teacher Yan Ping, which pays attention to the practical application of modern educational technology in teaching, and hardly involves theory. In teaching, only practical skills and software applications are emphasized, and the flexibility and efficiency of application are emphasized. We usually call this school "Modern Educational Practical Technology".
