A gain of spring, a gain of autumn. On Oct,10^th,2017,Miss Liu from Tanghu Elementary took part in a competition of National primary school information technology, and won the first prize. She worked hard for more than a month and got a wonderful result. There were more than 100 competitors who came from every province of China, and gathered in  Bayi Middle School of Urumchi.

  At ten a.m., the headteacher of Bayi Middle School made a speech, and the competition started. There were many people in the hall and all the seats were occupied. First of all, Ms Xin from the Education bureau of Urumchi gave a speech for us. We heard about technological development in  Xinjiang, the local conditions and customs, and beautiful scenery of Xinjiang. Second, Mr Jiang from Shimen Middle School of Nanhai District of Foshan gave a speech. All the people were moved by his feelings for education. He became disabled by protecting the students, and he developed programming software independently and applied to teaching. His behaviours, will, and thought are from the body, but his spirit is so much more. Next, the teachers Liu and Liyin from Hebei district of Tianjin and LiYi from Nanjing Normal University shared their different ideas. We were impressed by Miss Li’s idea that treated the core problem critically; education is not a follower, but absorbed selectively, and developed creatively.

    While we were listening to the speech, all the competitors were having their tests. Miss Liu kept calm and was good at “scratch” and “PPTS”, she finished the first test easily, before starting to talk about her teaching steps. As soon as she talked about her teaching steps, all the people were very interested. First, she lead-in the new lesson through games, and regarded the game as a project. Then she moved onto scratch,and used the “mind-map” and “guidance learning sheet” to clarify the students’ thoughts and cultivate students’ programming thinking. All the processes of talking through teaching steps were linked with each other, without interruption, and were excellent. The software invented by herself was very special and was very progressive. After the fierce early competitions, she went into the last competition.

  “Rome was not built in a day.” Due to her hard-work, and with the help of all her group members, the instructors, and researchers that guided her, Miss Liu won. Before the competition, the instructors and researchers from AiFengping of Chengdu and WangPeng of Shuangliu District stayed up late to guide  her. “All men are of one heart.”We help each other, then we earn greater achievements.
