In the field of education, the interactive whiteboard becomes an important teaching tool in the current teaching process. It replaces the traditional whiteboard and integrates the equipment needed for teaching into one, helping to teach efficiently, providing a convenient teaching platform for teachers and a diversified learning platform for students.
2.Current situation of education informatization and smart education
With the development of economy and the progress of technology, countries around the world are gradually paying more attention to the education industry, taking education informatization as a major strategic initiative to promote the reform and development of education at all levels and create smart education. Teaching informatization is to make the teaching means technological, teaching communication informatization, and teaching methods modernized, and to use information technology to create an ideal learning environment, provide a new way of learning and teaching, and completely change the traditional teaching structure and the nature of education.
At present, the construction of education informatization worldwide has begun to move toward the deep development stage of integration and innovation. Promoting the reconstruction of education system, accelerating school transformation and creating an open learning environment have become the basic features of the development of global education informatization. Driven by the new generation of information technology such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and mobile communication, many countries and regions in the world have taken smart education as their major strategy for future education development, and shifting from digital education to smart education has been the inevitable trend of global education development. Represented by the United States, the promotion of smart education in the United States can be divided into two levels: enterprise and government. IBM pioneered the concept of smarter planet, and integrated the concept of smarter planet into various industries, resulting in a series of intelligent industry solutions, including smart education. The core of the IBM Smart Education Framework is to provide personalized learning experiences for learners. By providing educational platforms such as cloud-based classrooms and interactive social media for educational institutions to connect and interact with each individual learner, IBM provides a unique learning experience for each learner. NETP2010 is the representative of the government level. NETP2010 requires educators to focus on "how to teach" and "what to teach" to meet the individual learning needs of learners, and to place learners in social life or as close to real situations as possible, and to use technology to provide them with various methods to make personalized learning a universal and widespread way of learning, so as to increase learners' motivation, improve their learning ability and knowledge level, and enable them to achieve higher academic achievement. In terms of evaluation, NETP2010 hopes to adopt a new and better way to measure and judge the real ability level and development trend of learners. In terms of teaching, NETP2010 calls for the use of technology to facilitate a paradigm shift in teaching and learning and to help teachers improve their competencies. The new teaching mode has teachers connected to teaching data, teaching tools, and using relevant data for assessment; connected to content, resources, and systems to provide better learning experiences for students; and connected to students to directly support student learning, regardless of their location. In terms of infrastructure, NETP2010 believes that infrastructure configurations should focus on building sustainable learning patterns that encompass people, processes, learning resources, and policies, in addition to hardware, systems, and management tools for continuous improvement.
Many schools around the world are committed to building smart campuses, promoting smart classroom construction, building a combined online and offline teaching mode, improving students' self-activity and motivation, and accelerating the cultivation of a large number of high-quality talents. Smart classroom is the core component of smart campus, which is based on "Internet+" mode of thinking and advanced information technology. It undertakes the task of making information-based teaching simple, efficient and intelligent, and is of great significance in promoting the development of education informatization towards intelligence and innovation. The smart classroom brings new opportunities for change while giving new challenges to classroom teaching and learning. Making full use of the advantages of information technology can help teachers use pre-class prediction data to guide students to carry out targeted pre-study activities, and timely understand students' problems in classroom teaching based on feedback data in classroom teaching, so as to set course teaching objectives in a more targeted manner and ensure that classroom teaching is on target. By enriching and integrating learning resources, teachers create teaching contexts, stimulate students' interest in learning, clarify learning tasks, and lead students to conduct fuller independent and cooperative inquiry to further develop students' learning initiative.
The smart classroom can give students a richer platform for communication and display, open up the learning process, guide students to evaluate each other and reflect together, and meet the needs of students at different levels of learning. Classroom teaching pays more attention to personalized learning and guarantees and implements the subjectivity and centrality of learners. Traditional classroom teaching overemphasizes the centrality of the teacher and lacks student-teacher interaction, resulting in the lack of individuality of the students. The smart classroom provides a broad platform for interactive learning, and a variety of teaching media break through the boundaries of the classroom, allowing teachers and students to use these new technologies to achieve deeper communication and cooperation anytime and anywhere.
Information technology has been developing and widely used in all fields of society, which is an irreversible trend of social and economic development. Informatization has a significant and far-reaching impact on the field of education, which can promote the modernization of education, revolutionize traditional education methods, improve the interactivity and efficiency of teaching, and cultivate students' independent thinking and practical innovation ability. It is a major trend in the field of education.
3.The necessity of interactive whiteboard applications in the field of education
The classroom is the main place for teaching. In order to better support the construction of educational informatization, the teaching space needs to be upgraded and transformed to integrate technology and ideas to make the interaction between teachers and students more active, thereby promoting the development of students' innovative ability. From the initial blackboard teaching, to projection teaching, to the current interactive multimedia teaching, every upgrade of teaching equipment is driven by the internal needs of teaching. Technology empowers the transformation of teaching and learning. Modern teaching equipment should promote the transformation of classroom informatization from "teaching" to "learning". As a modern intelligent display interactive teaching equipment, the intelligent interactive whiteboard is an important part of building a smart interactive classroom.
Compared with the traditional teaching mode, the interactive flat panel breaks the combination of blackboard and chalk, creating an interesting interactive classroom, centered on students, through student-student interaction, teacher-student interaction, etc., to promote each student become the main body of teaching and learningin the classroom teaching process, with equal exchanges and multiple interactions between teachers and students. In interactive classroom teaching, students participate in teaching activities under the guidance of teachers, and discover problems, ask questions and share experiences through communication in the teaching process to stimulate enthusiasm and initiative, and change from passive reception of knowledge to active pursuit of knowledge. Teachers can also use the interactive whiteboard functions to display teaching knowledge points in various teaching forms, communicate with students in various forms, conduct research according to the teaching situation, strengthen students' perception, and enable students to obtain the best learning effect. The student-student interaction in interactive classroom teaching usually takes the form of group discussion or group learning. The interactive whiteboard provides students with a brainstorming platform to quickly record each of their learning inspirations. During the communication process, students inspire each other, which is beneficial to cultivate students' cooperative learning ability and teamwork spirit.
As a highly integrated product of multiple smart devices, the smart interactive flat panel is easy and convenient to operate, which greatly improves the teaching efficiency of teachers. Teachers can quickly write on the electronic blackboard to record the key points of the class, and the one-key eraser function can easily erase unnecessary content. In the traditional classroom teaching environment, limited by conditions, it is impossible to completely record and save the thoughts and ideas of teachers and students in the classroom teaching process. When teachers are conducting self-reflection, it is easy to miss the sparks of students' thinking collisions or some generative things in the classroom. The interactive smart flat panel can be installed with corresponding recording software, which can store the activities of teachers or students during the classroom teaching process, so that the details of the classroom teaching process can be saved intact, which is convenient for teachers to reflect and summarize their teaching after class, and students to consolidate and review after class to better improve the teaching effect.
