In April this year, as the first "Internet plus Education" demonstration area in China, the construction of Ningxia "Internet plus Education" demonstration area passed the acceptance of the Ministry of Education.

Over the past five years, Ningxia has actively promoted online hand in hand and online pairing between urban and rural schools, popularized intelligent teaching tools, and gathered digital course resources. Teachers and students in the entire region have shared resources on the "one network", interactive teaching on the "one screen", and gained growth on the "one cloud". "Internet plus Education" promotes the balanced sharing of high-quality resources and opens a new door for children to see the world.

In mid April, the Liupanshan area of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region had warm winds and warm sunshine. At Xiping Primary School in Jiangtaibao Town, Xiji County, Guyuan City, melodious songs ripple through the campus. Fifth grade children are having music classes through interactive classrooms, with famous teachers explaining on the big screen, and teachers in the class leading everyone in practice.

This is a teaching scene widely seen in schools in mountainous and rural areas in southern Ningxia since the construction of "Internet plus Education" demonstration area was carried out in Ningxia in July 2018.

The internet has opened the window for children in the mountains to see the world. Children can see and hear scenery and music they haven't seen or heard before by opening their computers, "said principal Hao Yongsheng

In April this year, the construction of the "Internet plus Education" Demonstration Area in Ningxia passed the acceptance of the Ministry of Education. The expert group said that Ningxia has condensed a large number of practical achievements in the construction of the "cloud network end" integrated service system, the innovation of the political research enterprise school integration cooperation mechanism, the improvement of information literacy testing and training of primary and secondary school teachers, the reform of digital education teaching mode, and the construction of the "Internet plus education" standard and specification system, forming a replicable and promotable "Ningxia experience".

Gathering educational resources through "One Web"

Ding Xiaohua is a teacher at the 18th Primary School in Yuanzhou District, Guyuan City. Since late November 2019, her class has launched a new online classroom teaching model.

In the same class, Ding Xiaohua led over 50 students in her class while simultaneously teaching more than 20 third grade students of Caowa Primary School in Pengbao Town online. Every once in a while, she also goes to Caowa Primary School for offline teaching.

At the beginning, the children of Caowa Elementary School were afraid to answer or ask questions. After gradual guidance, their courage increased, their interaction increased, and their voices in answering questions became louder. "Ding Xiaohua said," Through the internet, the piano practice software, 3D animation design, and other courses that Caowa Elementary School students used to dare not even think about are now within reach, and parents are very satisfied and supportive

Wang Cheng, Director of Ningxia Education Informatization Management Center, introduced that Ningxia promotes online hand in hand and online pairing of urban and rural schools, enabling teachers and students in the entire region to share resources on the "one network", popularize intelligent tools, gather digital courses, promote hybrid teaching activities, and promote a new form of intelligent teaching that integrates virtual and real, human-machine collaboration, with "flourishing branches and leaves". At the same time, efforts will be made to build an integrated service system of "cloud network end" to achieve full coverage of the school's 200 megabyte Internet access, online interactive classroom arrival, digital teaching equipment arrival, "Internet plus education" standard counties and digital campus construction.

The internet has reached a "mountain valley", and a "cloud" has lifted up new dreams. It is reported that since the implementation of "Internet plus Education", more than 500000 courses have been held, benefiting more than 1 million teachers and students, effectively alleviating the structural shortage of teachers in more than 500 rural schools, and promoting balanced sharing of high-quality resources.

Implementing Interactive Teaching with One Screen

At the Experimental Second Primary School in Xingqing District, Yinchuan City, Ma Mengdi from Class 1, Grade 4, displayed his homework on the large screen of the podium: "Through collecting information online, I found that my hometown Ningxia is known as the 'Great Wall Museum', and I am very proud of it." This is a double teacher teaching scene with the theme of showcasing the Ningxia Great Wall. On the video end, a teacher centrally records the teaching content, performs online display and guidance; In class, another teacher leads students to complete offline assignments and discussions.

"This is the course of" Local Features of Ningxia "that we developed specifically for the model of" Internet plus Education "." Yao Xueqing, the vice principal, introduced that this course has transformed the history and culture, geographical indications, folk traditions, folk arts and intangible cultural heritage of Ningxia. Through the interactive teaching on the "one screen", children take their hometown landscape as the object of inquiry, and take research, study tours, and practical experience as the way of inquiry, Collecting information online in advance and creating presentation assignments enhances pride in one's hometown.

It is understood that "Ningxia's local scenery" has formed a brand and attracted widespread attention. Currently, all 192 courses of 12 projects developed can be shared through resource application platforms.

Such branded courses are not a unique case in Ningxia. In the process of promoting the construction of the demonstration area, all schools are actively exploring how to implement the comprehensive reform of quality education with the "Internet plus+Five Education Integration". The regional education system incorporated information literacy into general education at all levels and in all kinds of schools, provided after-school services such as computer programming, 3D creative animation, and smart calligraphy, and carried out online soul casting and education activities such as "online revisiting the Long March", "traveling with digital museums", and "the same ideological and political course", to guide students to expand their thinking and broaden their horizons in the integration of science, technology and culture.

Children have digital classrooms, and at the same time, we vigorously promote intelligent tools such as teaching assistants, smart study companions, and interactive tablets. We gather digital resources such as synchronous courses, online textbooks, and virtual training, collect data from students' pre class preparation, in class learning, and post class practice throughout the entire process, implement human-machine collaborative interactive teaching, and cluster analysis of learning situations. We help teachers diagnose learning situations scientifically, adjust teaching plans in a timely manner, and effectively reduce teacher-student teaching The burden of learning allows students to have more time to cultivate their interests and promote comprehensive development Wang Cheng said.

It is understood that Ningxia is promoting the upgrading of the digital education environment, building a total of 29000 digital classrooms, covering all teaching classes in schools throughout the region, and constructing more than 4600 online classrooms in primary and secondary schools, actively carrying out information based teaching.

Upgrading the Education Model of "One Cloud"

On the afternoon of April 17th, at Liangtian Middle School in Jinfeng District, Yinchuan City, Ningxia, students competed to introduce the use of electronic class cards at the entrance of their class to reporters. Just walk through the class card display screen and complete attendance through facial recognition, while uploading to the class teacher's mobile terminal. Click on the class board to view the curriculum, school affairs notices, and various learning information pushed by the school at any time.

I like the student style display bar the most. Two days ago, my homework was selected as excellent. The teacher took photos and uploaded them to the electronic class board to show to the whole school. I was very happy, "Ma Ying, from Class 5, Grade 8, told reporters." The school also equipped every student with a learning tablet, and the internet was my 'second classroom'

"Now you can go to the 'education cloud' to find information, do tests, or consult teachers in digital schools remotely if you don't understand the problem. The problem doesn't last overnight." Dai Bowen, a student of Qingtongxia No. 5 Middle School, showed the robot controlled by the programming system while saying, "I also found a course to learn programming in the 'Maker' plan of the school's' Internet plus Education '."

In the virtual simulation laboratory of Ningxia Medical University, students have achieved professional learning of medical equipment visualization and precision through software and hardware devices such as "signal systems" and "smart+sensors". It is reported that the school has vigorously strengthened the digitization of learning space and teaching resources, and has been approved for national virtual simulation gold courses, virtual teaching and research rooms, etc., achieving a breakthrough in the "zero" national virtual simulation experiment project in Ningxia.

By establishing an assessment and incentive mechanism, cultivating benchmark schools, conducting star evaluation and grading, and providing guidance from experts to counties, various schools in Ningxia have achieved a transformation from traditional teaching of "one chalk, one blackboard" to intelligent teaching of "virtual and real integration, human-machine interaction". Higher education institutions have vigorously promoted virtual teaching and research rooms, smart laboratories, digital libraries, etc., promoting the reform of talent cultivation models and teaching methods. Vocational colleges widely carry out virtual simulation teaching, online and offline hybrid teaching, and on campus and off campus two-way teaching, promoting collaborative education between "human teachers" and "pilots", deepening the integration of industry and education, school enterprise cooperation, and enhancing the adaptability of vocational education.

Wang Chengfeng, Director of Ningxia Education Department, said that as the first "Internet plus Education" demonstration area in China, Ningxia has gathered a high degree of consensus on the development of digital education, established a strong organizational guarantee mechanism, laid a good foundation for digital education, and formed a mature teaching application model. Next, Ningxia will promote the creation of a new track, new driving force, and new advantages for high-quality education development supported by digitization, and create an upgraded version of the "Ningxia Experience".
