(a) The smart classroom makes the history class "live"
In the past, using a simple interactive whiteboard, the history teacher's classroom mode is usually to do a good job ahead of time PPT, download a good video, audio, and then in the classroom one by one to explain and show to the students. And because the classroom time is very short and limited 40 minutes, so many history teachers are very like "full of questions" "full of irrigation". As a student, a class has been you ask me to answer the way a long time inevitably feel tired and boring, lack of freshness.
(2) break the limitations of teacher-student interaction
We all know that the most basic way of interaction in the traditional classroom is that the teacher asks questions and the students answer them; the teacher sets up a task and the students complete the task according to the instructions and requirements. The history classroom can't escape this routine, the teacher-student interaction is old-fashioned, coupled with the classroom time is very limited, the students' excellent learning achievements can't be fully demonstrated in the classroom, and there are problems with the place can only do a small amount of comment.
But in the smart classroom system in the "classroom activities" link, the increase in these features such as: students submitted assignments can be viewed by all students, and comment and "like". Submitted homework can be voice, text, in order to save time, you can also take pictures to upload. This increases student participation in the classroom, as well as student-student and teacher-student interaction.
Additionally, some materials such as pictures from the teacher's tablet or cell phone can be temporarily pushed to students through the device during class. It is also possible to open the required video or webpage from the cell phone and temporarily play it to the students, which enhances the convenience. Some historical knowledge can also thus be presented to students with multiple perspectives, bringing history and reality closer together.
(C) Evaluation of students is timely and efficient
In the traditional history classroom, the teacher's evaluation of students' learning can only be done through exams. But after the test to spend time to correct, corrected only by the general feeling of analyzing the students have problems. In addition, history teachers usually teach more than four classes, a large number of people, to each student's mastery of all knowledge points to make an objective and accurate analysis is unlikely.
And the smart classroom end brings these several conveniences. First of all, the tests conducted in the classroom and the homework pushed out after class do not need to be time-consuming and laborious to be corrected. Automatic correction saves the teacher a lot of time and energy. Secondly, the teacher's end can dynamically display the speed of each student's answer, the correct rate of answer, and the wrong questions for the exercises or tests pushed in class. Students can also see the wrong questions and test explanations, as well as the ranking of all the students in the class, so that they can form a competitive learning atmosphere.
Additionally, in the back end of the smart classroom, there is a "query" end of the "big data statistics", the entire classroom teacher teaching and student activities in the classroom to do the data record. Here the teacher can view and analyze the "achievement trend", "learning characteristics", and "social relations" of the students in the class he/she teaches. The data can then be used to improve teaching methods and focus on the "marginalized" students in the classroom.
Second, the drawbacks of the smart classroom
(a) Tablet supervision is not in place, the student awareness needs to be improved
Because the tablet belongs to the electronic products, as an aboriginal of the Internet era. Students face electronic products, once there is no effective management and supervision, it is inevitable that "go astray". Some classes on the tablet management lax, so that students can take advantage of, often use the tablet computer in the classroom or even classroom to read novels to see also say. There are also students who do not pay attention to the teacher in class, but to grab the screen with the teacher. Some even change the name of the screen into some insulting words, interfering with the normal order of the teacher's class, bringing extremely bad influence.
Secondly, due to the low score of the history subject in the secondary school examination, the function and value of history education is not explicit, utilitarian and single, but more implicit, essential and comprehensive in character. Therefore, there is no status in the hearts of students and some main subject teachers and class teachers. As a result, classes often encountered cases where students' tablets were not charged when they ran out of battery, or half of the entire class did not bring back their tablets after they were taken home. To reflect to the class teacher either can not be effectively dealt with, or ignored, making the final tablet has become a chicken ribs.
(2) Schools to force teachers to use the tablet rate of teachers bound
I personally believe that, whether it is a tablet computer, intelligent classroom system and now a lot of wind XIVO whiteboard, should follow the "local conditions", for the principle of teaching and learning services. In the end, all of the above hardware and software are just teaching aids, for the teacher's classroom teaching to add flowers. As the old saying goes, there is no definite way to teach, what the teacher should use in class, what aids to complete the classroom teaching should be determined by the characteristics of the subject, the characteristics of the students, the characteristics of the teacher and the needs of the curriculum. Instead, every lesson should be bound to the tablet computer, smart classroom.
It is because of the school is obsessed with the pursuit of the use of the rate of enhancement, so that some teachers appear to "hang up". Or raw pull, in the case of not needing a tablet, or to force the introduction. The results and effects can be imagined.
(C) the pursuit of diversification of teaching forms, the form is more important than the content
It is well known that, with the impact of the Internet wave, with the arrival of the era of information technology in education, the form of teaching more and more fancy. Whether from the local education bureau to the school level, will often organize a number of similar "whiteboard use contest", "teacher basic skills" competition and other types of teaching competitions.
Wherever the competition is organized, if a teacher is teaching too few forms of teaching. The development of the tablet, the whiteboard new tricks, can not play the above mentioned various teaching aids. Then basically your class is a failure, impossible to get the prize class. Therefore, it also leads to some teachers to seek the end of the pursuit of diversified forms of teaching, the form is more important than the content, and even flashy and not a lot. A class of fancy, dazzling, but ignored the practicality of teaching, negligence of the textbook for a serious and detailed interpretation of the students also lack of understanding and communication, and even cut the integrity of the teaching content. In a word, the form is more important than the content.
In summary, I think the smart classroom, with its powerful features, can really add to our teaching. However, learning is a huge project constructed by much more complex factors. As a teaching aid, I think the use of the time or according to local conditions, not to turn the teacher into a "set of people".
