How to carry out students ' burden of computing in digital schoolbags

See "Burden" the two words, I believe many netizens have their own ideas, at least small set from the primary school began to listen to the school said to lighten the burden. After all these years, the burden of the students has not been reduced, but it is getting heavier. From Backpack to trolley box-style schoolbag, seems to have done a lot of articles from the schoolbag. Now in the 10 20 years past, the topic of reducing the heat remains. And it's not just a question China has been thinking about.

Today, the latest foreign news, the South Korean government launched a plan, 2015 years ago to fully realize the digital transformation of students textbooks, the use of "cloud computing" computer network system to assist the teaching, to help students personalize the development of their own learning methods. South Korea's Ministry of Education and Science and technology 29th to President Lee Myung-bak submitted this budget expenditure of about 2.07 billion U.S. dollars in education reform program.

According to the plan, the primary school textbooks will be fully digitized by 2014, the secondary school textbooks will be completed 2015 years ago digital transformation.

According to the report, digital textbooks can not only reduce the physical weight of students ' schoolbags, but also reduce the financial burden of students ' families. In addition, the Korean Ministry of Education and Science and Technology intends to add "cloud computing" computing to all primary and secondary schools

The network system helps students to share traditional computer resources through mobile devices such as mobile phones, so that students do not have to rely on fixed-seat computers or carry heavy laptops to school every day.

The aim of the whole program is to help students develop individualized learning methods and obtain educational resources of various channels.

In fact, in the first international electronic Bag Application Summit held in April, China also expressed great expectations for the market of electronic schoolbags. "The spring of China's electronic schoolbag industry has been 10 years late," said Yi, secretary general of the Mobile Internet Industry Alliance and the organizing Committee of the Forum on the application of electronic schoolbags. ”。

It is undeniable that the rapid development of digital publishing in the 10 has accumulated the effectiveness of the electronic schoolbags today. Through the advance popularization of e-books and tablets, more and more traditional publishers have realized the "gold content" of electronic schoolbags, as well as the participation of more terminal manufacturers to advise on the popularization of electronic schoolbags.

After nearly two years of popularization, E-books have made digital reading a popular and well-known vocabulary, and from industry segmentation, application of the crowd, government support, copyright protection and many other aspects, electronic schoolbags are superior to the vitality of e-books. Not long ago, the domestic e-book leader Han Wang said, ready to cut into the electronic bag market.

Students write in class

"E-books are a popular consumer product, but electronic schoolbags are not." "Compared with e-books, the target audience of electronic schoolbags is more clear, that is, many primary and secondary school students." As a result, e-books are more susceptible to the impact of hardware such as tablets, while electronic schoolbags do not. "Electronic paper has no harm to people's eyes, save electricity and environmental protection, which is not convincing to the public consumers, they need may be multi-media effect, LCD screen." But in 9-year compulsory education, whether to harm the eyes, whether environmental protection, Low-carbon is of strategic significance. The country spends a lot of money to nurture the next generation, must choose the best products for the next generation, schools will also choose this. Yi said, and said that "one is the consumer to pay the bill, one is the state financial support", the two are obviously different.

In addition, in the domestic context, the electronic schoolbags also have the advantage of making e-books, that is, copyright protection. Unlike E-books, electronic schoolbags pay more attention to quality education resources, which are relatively concentrated and will be more conducive to copyright protection. "The digitization of textbooks is not something that can be done by anyone, and every course in Chinese, maths and English is a vast project." "The education system can easily calculate the number of students, and then determine the number of electronic schoolbags needed to facilitate management." >>

For those who have been not in favor of cloud computing technology, if this "burden" can really be effectively implemented, the trust and acceptance of cloud computing will be more and more. On the contrary, what is the other voice?

Electronic schoolbags are turning from a vague concept into a hot, sweet pastry. In this traditional publishers, network operators, terminal hardware vendors, digital content platform and other forces are involved in the market competition, we have to think, whether the electronic schoolbags can be good-looking and delicious?

One has to mention the background--the digital copyright problem is complex, digital content platform to the user charging process is slow to start, the domestic e-reader manufacturers collectively depressed ... Undoubtedly to the domestic digital publishing industry has cast a shadow. Mobile phone Publishing, has become the only real breakthrough in the field of digital publishing. And because the electronic bag industry chain closed and mobile phone publishing similar, began to be many people as a digital publication to break the current dilemma of a new breakthrough.

Globally, the use of information technology to improve the quality of teaching is widely recognized worldwide, under the impetus of manufacturers such as Intel, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore and many other countries and regions have carried out the research and practice of electronic bag project.

Whether the digital classroom is feasible

Domestic electronic schoolbags are also showing an accelerated development trend. As the national first "electronic bag" pilot project, the Hongkou of Shanghai city has been a whole year. In the May this year, the Shenzhen Literary Fair, there is just the end of the Harbin Book Fair, electronic schoolbags are an active figure. In addition to the lively exhibition, electronic schoolbags "Landing" promotion is also showing the trend of acceleration. "The pilot of electronic schoolbags is faster than many people think," said the relevant head of China Telecom's Shanghai branch. Reporter learned that China Telecom in addition to participate in the industry familiar with the Shanghai pilot, Beijing, Anhui, Henan and other major education provinces have quietly started the "electronic bag" pilot and layout.

"60 billion Yuan", which includes Shanghai Telecom, including the participants to the domestic electronic schoolbags industry market share valuation. Before that, many forecast sound even thought this market scale can reach 100 billion yuan. "Electronic schoolbags are a huge industry, and it is certainly OK to have several listed companies in this field," said Yi, secretary general of the Mobile Internet Industry Alliance. In his view, the current in the hardware field, domestic manufacturers have not been able to work with foreign Kindle, ipad and other positive confrontation of capital, as compared to ordinary reading terminals, electronic schoolbags involved in the industry side more, the corresponding entry threshold is also higher, "in this context, I do not advocate the domestic hardware manufacturers and Amazon, Apple and other companies face confrontation, and E-book package business is a good choice for domestic hardware manufacturers.

Not only the hardware manufacturers, the Chinese online representative of the content platform for E-book package business, is eager to and potential in the will. According to people, the Chinese online has been defined as the company's "strategic business", the current Chinese online has a dedicated team in the promotion of E-book package business. He introduced that the Chinese online was originally from the primary and secondary digital library business, after more than 10 years in the field of education resources, so for the field of electronic schoolbags, "We will certainly enter, also have access to the advantages." He also analyzed that, from a profit perspective, the impact of electronic schoolbags on educational publishers was not great-after all, the contents of electronic schoolbags were also obtained from publishers.

Everyone can see the huge market opportunities in the field of electronic schoolbags, but there is little to make money from. "is to make money, but also to earn government money," some people laugh.

"Electronic schoolbags are facing the problem of how to industrialize," in Shandong Spark International Media Group, general manager of Digital Publishing division Hing Linqing Eyes, electronic schoolbags in the future to go a long way. The entry threshold for electronic schoolbags is obvious. There are not many digital platforms that can enter this area. Electronic schoolbags Professional, product shape is more complex, need to play the industry chain of the enthusiasm of all sectors, only the participation of all parties can really start the market.

Shanghai Telecom related officials also said that from a technical point of view, the implementation of the electronic Bag project must not only build a service platform connected with the terminal, this is a huge basic project, but also to establish an open Internet. This part of the need for input is clearly larger than the terminal reading device.

Among all the obstacles, we should not overlook the co-operation of the competent departments and the attitude towards the electronic schoolbags. and the electronic reader market can quickly start different, the development of electronic schoolbags depends on the attitude of the competent departments. The domestic education field, is a relatively closed system, want to let the electronic schoolbags get true popularization, mainly depends on the relevant ministries directly whether to coordinate and reach a consensus.
