Research on the Integration of Information Technology and Primary Teaching in the Digital Age

Abstract

In the 21st century, people are surrounded by a wide range of information technologies. E-payments, mobile, AR, VR, and other real-world technologies have brought great convenience to our lives. When the new crown epidemic started to spread, people realized that online teaching and learning started to play an important role. The integration of information technology and education turned into a mainstream research topic. Then for the primary class students, their physio-psychological characteristics make the integration of IT and teaching challenging. How can they use information technology to make learning more effective in this information age? This paper will discuss the positive and negative effects of the integration of information technology and teaching on both students and teachers. It will also give suggestions on how to make the integration of IT and teaching more effective from four perspectives: China, schools, teachers and students themselves so that the negative effects can be mitigated.
