ABSTRACT

Since the 1990s, with the booming development of computer and other Internet information technology, the impact on the field of education has become more and more profound. Around the world, vigorous development of information technology in education has become a common trend. By systematically reviewing and sorting out the policies and bills of IT-enabled education in the United States at various stages, the article divides the historical process in the field of IT-enabled education in the United States into three stages: exploration and enlightenment (1983-1995), gradual enhancement (1996-2009), and deepening innovation (2010-present), and systematically summarizes the four major characteristics of IT-enabled education. The vigorous development of information technology in education in the United States has, to a certain extent, promoted the development of education and become the pioneer and leader of information technology in education worldwide, and its professional standard ranks among the top in the world.
