  2019年重庆普通本科高校课堂教学创新大赛院级选拔赛上周四在学院举行，共有11名教师参与角逐。该比赛旨在进一步贯彻落实中共中央、国务院《中国教育现代化2035》和《教育部关于加快建设高水平本科教育全面提高人才培养能力的意见》精神，充分利用信息技术开展人才培养模式和教学方法的改革，推动课堂教学革命，加快推进高等教育内涵式发展。

   The theme of the contest this year is Classroom Revolution Driven by Innovative Teaching. A growing trend jointly revealed by several contestants is that cloud technology is widely adopted in the classroom teaching. Lanmo Cloud Classroom, a mainstream teaching and learning assistant App whose fundamental feature is to connect and combine the teaching and learning processes outside of traditional classroom teaching using features such as real-time classroom discussion, quiz and assignment and etc, is enabled by the latest cloud computing technology. On top of that, another innovative trend is the adoption of mind mapping in classroom teaching, which, believed by many experts is crucial in fostering a critical thinking ability and establishing a better analyzing tool among students. The traditional teacher-centered approach is now being replaced rapidly by the student-centered approach and various task-based or project-based practice is helping to build a more creative and vibrant classroom dynamic.

  大赛主题是“创新课堂教学，推动课堂革命”。初赛中多名参赛教师把云技术搬到了课堂教学，这也是创新课堂的一个共同趋势。作为一款主流教学辅助应用软件，“蓝墨云课堂”的核心功能是通过使用最新云计算技术实现实时课堂讨论，测验，任务等，在传统课堂之外实现教师的“教”与学生的“学”之间实现互联互通以及资源整合。此外，另一项创新趋势在于思想导览图在课堂教学中的使用，很多专家认为这对形成学生的批判性思维和掌握分析工具至关重要。以教师为中心的传统教学模式正迅速被取代，以学生为中心的教学方式和以项目或者任务为基础的教学实践正在助力创新、活力的课堂。

  This is more than a just teaching competition, but rather a part of something bigger. The realization of high-level connectivity regarding students, teachers, classroom, and the job market is growingly depending on the Modern Information Technology.    

  本次初赛远非停仅仅留在一场比赛上，它是一项更大使命的开端。实现学生，教师，课堂和就业市场的互联互通今后越来越依赖现代信息技术的运用。
