First of all, the conditions of running a school restrict the application of information technology. As a rural middle school, all middle schools in our county can be equipped with microcomputer classrooms, and some schools are equipped with electronic lesson preparation rooms and multimedia classrooms. This shows that leaders attach importance to information technology. However, due to the lack of funds, it also led to the imbalance of construction.
Information technology itself is a collection of information from all parties, which needs the support of many related constructions to complete. As far as the computer itself is concerned, it is a "hard" and "soft" organic whole. Hardware is the "body" and software is the "soul". Only the coordinated development of "hard" and "soft" can reflect its strong momentum. As far as software is concerned, everyone knows how easy it is to use the WindowsXX operating system and how difficult it is to learn DOS. But at the beginning of the launch, how to use such an operating system was not applauded by everyone as it is today. The reason is the limitation of hardware. It can be asserted that if today's "XP" is used in the "80XX" era, no one will applaud it! When it comes to hardware, everyone can clearly say "ugly son", "Celeron" and "Ben Si", which shows everyone's understanding of its importance. Because this is the foundation, everyone is willing to invest and even configure it in advance. However, few people invest too much in software. This is an extremely unbalanced investment, which is understandable for individuals due to financial reasons. However, as a unit, we can't have this idea anyway. Because there is no relevant software support, the "high-tech" we bought at a huge sum of money is only used for simple work such as typing, which is far from playing its due role and is a waste of resources. If 10% or even 1% of the hardware investment can be used to buy related teaching software, develop software and materials. Let teachers "have a meal to do". I believe that it won't be long before a large number of talents will stand out and make greater contributions to the school.
The deficiency of software construction is reflected in many aspects. One is the shortage of software resources, as mentioned above. Second, the software construction is insufficient. Rules and regulations are mostly flashy, and rarely play much role in the development of teachers, units and students. Third, teacher training is seriously backward, and supporting teaching materials and supporting measures are lagging behind. Today's society is an information society, and the development of information technology changes with each passing day. No one can do everything well by himself. Superman is just another step on someone else's shoulder. It is unrealistic to think that horses should not eat grass. Environment makes talents. If you want to make your team strong, you must be brave enough to sweat and bleed for it. Fourth, human resources are seriously inadequate. This has led to a few so-called "talents" fighting alone, passive everywhere and besieged on all sides. Because of the lack of teamwork, the so-called "research" cannot be carried out normally.
People call software research "software engineering". This shows its complexity and arduousness. In 1960s, IBM spent 5,000 man-years and hundreds of millions of dollars to develop an OS/360 operating system consisting of 4,000 modules and about 1 10,000 instructions. In recent two years, the words "Simiao Flash Works" and "Traveler Flash Works" can often be seen in the CD attached to computer magazines. At first, we thought that Simiao and Walker were the same person, but after reading the works, we realized that they were actually a team, a "crew", with directors, plans, plots, dubbing and so on. No wonder you can make such a good work. After all, one's strength is limited! This concept is more suitable for schools. Because after all, our task is teaching, with limited energy, shortage of funds and relatively backward information. But as long as the above relations are well coordinated, we can get the maximum benefit with the least investment and achieve the best effect in the shortest time.
Secondly, information acquisition is relatively backward and can't keep up with the pace of the world. Due to various reasons, the information in rural middle schools is relatively closed, and people's knowledge and understanding of information technology is not in place. It tends to be one-sided. For example, the application of new technology in teaching is overemphasized, while the traditional effective methods are neglected; Or conservative thinking, rejecting new things, only seeing negative things, and so on. All these phenomena, in the final analysis, are caused by our narrow vision.
