Research and Application of Interactive Teaching Software on iOS Platform Based on Computational Thinking

Abstract:

The author carried on the thorough research on computing thinking (CT) and interactive teaching. Computational thinking can improve college students' ability to use computers to solve problems. Interactive teaching can improve the effect of classroom teaching. The mobile Internet has the serious influence on classroom teaching. The existing interactive teaching systems have some disadvantages. According to the survey, most college students like to use, or own an apple mobile phone. The author has carried on the reform of classroom teaching and the curriculum design of C programming language, designed the interactive teaching software on iOS platform based on computational thinking. This paper presents that the computational thinking is introduced into the teaching software can contribute to the development of interactive teaching mode.
