如今怪客们被嘲笑的日子已经过去了,因为他们无所不能。亚马逊,苹果,脸谱,谷歌这些新兴的形式正在逐渐取缔着传统的交流,阅读,游戏,购物以及生活方式,这些形式也在变革着。对于很多聪明的年轻人来说,没有什么可以让自己通宵工作的成果转变成下一个微软或苹果更加有意义了。
我们客观的来说,只需要一点点的诱惑力,也许就可以让企业的信息管理部门前途一片大好。企业的IT部门从最初的建立到现在已经存在了二十多年了,它的重要性和所需要的费用也在逐渐的增加。作为最重要的信息管理官员如果从业二十年,那么在企业的高层位置上也许会上升一至二个级别。
然而现在很多的非技术企业的IT部门发展仍然是比较落后的,自动化在不声不响之中发挥着重要的供应链以及发放工资的作用等,现在这个数字化的形式正在很多企业之中发挥着的重要的作用---开源软件供应商,红帽公司的首席信息官李康登这样说。
1、THE days of derision are long gone: now geeks are gods. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Twitter are reinventing the ways in which mere mortals converse, read, play, shop and live. To thousands of bright young people, nothing is cooler than coding the night away, striving to turn their own startup into the next big thing.
2 A little of this glamour should by rights be lighting up companies’ information-technology departments, too. Corporate IT has been around for decades, growing in importance and expense. Its bosses, styled for 20-odd years as chief information officers, may perch only a rung or two from the top of the corporate ladder.
3 However, IT departments have, in many non-tech firms, remained hidden away, automating unexciting but essential functions—supply chains, payroll and so forth. And by now, this digitising of business processes “has played itself out in a lot of enterprises,” says Lee Congdon, the chief information officer of Red Hat, a provider of open-source software.
4 There is still plenty going on in the back office: the advent of cloud computing means that software can be continually updated and paid for by subscription, and that fewer companies will need their own data centres. But the truly dramatic change is happening elsewhere. Demands for digitisation are coming from every corner of the company. The marketing department would like to run digital campaigns. Sales teams want seamless connections to customers as well as to each other. Everyone wants the latest mobile device and to try out the cleverest new app. And they all want it now.
5 Rich prizes beckon companies that grasp digital opportunities; ignominy awaits those that fail. Some are seizing their chance. Burberry, a posh British fashion chain, has dressed itself in IT from top to toe. Clever in-store screens show off its clothes. Employees confer on Burberry Chat, an internal social network. This may explain why Apple has poached Angela Ahrendts, Burberry’s chief executive, to run its own shops.
6 In theory, this is a fine opportunity for the IT department to place itself right at the centre of corporate strategy. In practice, the rest of the company is not always sure that the IT guys are up to the job—and they are often prepared to buy their own IT from outsiders if need be. Worse, it seems that a lot of IT guys doubt their own ability to keep up with the pace of the digital age. According to Dave Aron of Gartner, a research firm, in a recent survey of chief information officers around the world just over half agreed that both their businesses and their IT organisations were “in real danger” from a “digital tsunami”. “Some feel excited, some feel threatened,” says Mr Aron, “but nobody feels like it’s boring and business as usual.”
7 One reason for worry is that IT bosses are conservative by habit and with good reason. Above all they must keep essential systems running—and safe. Those systems are under continual attack. If they are breached, the head of IT carries the can. More broadly, IT departments like to know who is up to what. Many of them gave up one battle long ago, by letting staff choose their own smartphones (a trend known as “bring your own device”). When the chief executive insists on an iPhone rather than a fogeyish BlackBerry, it is hard to refuse.
8 That has been no bad thing, given the enormous number of applications being churned out for Apple’s devices and those using Google’s Android operating system, many of which can do wonders for productivity. The trouble lies in keeping tabs on all the apps people like to use for work. With cloud-based file-sharing services or social media, it is easy to share information and to switch from a PC in the office to a mobile device. But if people are careless, they may put confidential data at risk. They may run up bills as well. Many applications cost nothing for the first few users but charges kick in once they catch on.
9 The digital world, however, runs faster than the typical IT department’s default speed. Other bits of the business are not always willing to wait. Marketing, desperate to use digital wiles to woo customers and to learn what they are thinking, is especially impatient. Forrester, another research firm, estimates that marketing departments’ spending on IT is rising two to three times as fast as that of companies as a whole. Almost one in three marketers thinks the IT department hinders success.
10 The IT crowd worry that haste has hidden costs. The marketers, points out Vijay Gurbaxani of the Centre for Digital Transformation at the University of California, Irvine, will not build in redundancy and disaster recovery, so that not all is lost if projects go awry. To the cautious folk in IT departments, this is second nature.
11 A lack of resources does not help. Corporate budgets everywhere are under strain, and IT is often still seen as a cost rather than as a source of new business models and revenues. A lot of IT heads, indeed, report to the chief financial officer—although opinions differ about how much formal lines of command matter. But even if money is not in short supply, bodies are. When the whole company is looking for new ways to put technology to work, the IT department cannot do it all.
12 In different ways, a lot of companies have decided that it shouldn’t. Many technology-intensive organisations have long had chief technology officers, who keep products at the cutting edge, while leaving chief information officers in charge of the internal plumbing. Lately a new post has appeared: the chief digital officer, whose task is to seek ways of embedding digital technology into products and business models. Gartner estimates that 5-6% of companies now have one. About half practise some form of “two-speed IT”.
13 If the chief information and digital officers work nicely together, it’s “fantastic,” says Didier Bonnet of Capgemini, a firm of consultants. He points to Starbucks, where such a pair have operated in tandem since last year. The chief digital officer, Adam Brotman, oversees all the coffee chain’s digital projects, from social media to mobile payments, which used to be spread around different groups. But there are also examples, Mr Bonnet adds, of conflict, which “can slow you down rather than speed you up”. Whatever the digital team comes up with still needs to fit in with the business’s existing IT systems.
14 So IT chiefs somehow have to let a thousand digital ideas bloom, while keeping a weather eye on the whole field. At Dell, a PC-maker shifting towards services and software, Adriana Karaboutis, the chief information officer, says that she works closely with the marketing department: people there have developed applications which, once screened by the IT team, have ended up in Dell’s internal and external app stores. With such co-operation, says Ms Karaboutis, “people stop seeing IT as something to go around, but as something to partner with.”

15 Corporate IT bosses are right to fear being overwhelmed. But cleaving to their old tasks and letting others take on the new unsupervised is not an option. Forrester calls this a “titanic mistake”. The IT department is not about to die, even if many functions ascend to the cloud. However, those of its chiefs who cannot adapt may fade away.
The development of information technology with each passing day, even if we don't want to reform also not line, because it has a wide deep effect on teaching.Online learning will dominate our future, at present there are many common network teaching, such as interactive teaching video system, network course learning platform system, teaching platform of cloud system, course teaching, micro teaching video, and so on.
By trying to use the computer classroom mode of subject teaching and research, I deeply realized the profound influence on the change of teaching information technology.I mainly use the project-based learning website, combined with electronic classroom software to integrate the teaching.The benefits of this approach is to let students in small groups as the unit, based on web resources, can truly reflect the students' main body status, is beneficial to cultivate the students' consciousness of unity and cooperation, to fully demonstrate the student's personality charm.Weakness is preparation for a long time, has high requirements to the teachers' information technology literacy, also requires teachers must keep pace with The Times, learn some advanced education idea and education method, to continuously strengthen in-game adjustments ability.
The benefits of cloud teaching lies in teachers and students can always understand the process of learning, can be clear at a glance.As a teacher can see every student's learning process in a timely manner, through the evaluation system can always understand each student's problems, and can quickly react accordingly to the question, to effectively guide students to overcome difficulties.He can also through the evaluation system for students, always know oneself in learning, the problems existing in the and be able to select the corresponding solutions, such as the electronics company for help, seek help from resources platform, to the teacher for help, seek help from the network, etc., make learning autonomy was the biggest play.
The network is a virtual space, but network behind each user name but it is a living individual life, a lot of times we couldn't communicate face to face, through the network can be easily solved, reduce some communication problems.Networks make interpersonal communication more easily, and communication in the presence of more and more widely, make people become wider horizons.
Set up the professional colleges and universities across the country had been more than 300, but quite a number of colleges and universities there are inadequate experience, lack of teachers, and educational condition, teaching materials, and many other factors, in the process of cultivating students' new problems appeared in one way or another.Mainly include: (1) lack of professional characteristics.Many schools either in computational mathematics and its application software for the development direction, either as a development direction in computer science, cannot adapt to the current economic development on the cultivation of the talent requirements and the demand of the job market.(2) professional obtain employment direction is not very clear.A lot of unit of choose and employ persons do not understand the background of the major, just as simple as "computer application" or "professional" information, which will directly affect the students' employment and enrollment.(3) some professional books and the availability of resources is not very strong.Some students complain that "school learn all useless, now with the school didn't teach".It is necessary to increase the teaching in some new exploration direction in this field, broaden the students' knowledge.(4) the lack of teachers, to strengthen laboratory construction.In some colleges and universities, the information and computing professional course teaching task is either the professional background of computational mathematics, or computer class specialized background, still lack a master information and computing science and technology strong teaching staff.
Information and computing science is made up of information science, computing science, management and control science and other disciplines cross infiltration and formation of a new class of mathematics major.The main training has good mathematical basis and mathematical thinking ability, grasp the basic theory of information and computing science, methods and skills, practice by the system of scientific inquiry, to solve the problem of information science and engineering practical new senior specialized talents;Main task is to explore "at the core of information technology and using the modern computational tools and efficient to solve new problems of science and engineering mathematics theory and method of" [3. Information and calculation science specialized can cultivate the students' calculation of literacy, information literacy and the height of the abstract thinking ability. This professional requirement student has a good base for mathematics theory, be able to use mathematics to solve practical new problems in the field of information science. Our professional students, the mathematical theory, basic knowledge of learning is very necessary. So do a good job in the mathematical teaching for the students lay the mathematical skills is particularly important [4.
In the numerical analysis of course teaching, for example.The course in information and calculation science specialized courses occupy important position."Mathematical analysis", "advanced algebra" and "ordinary differential equation for compulsory courses ahead of the course.If students when they study the first course, is able to grasp and understand the basic mathematical theory and knowledge, so they are learning "numerical analysis", will get twice the result with half the effort.The author in teaching of "numerical analysis", the first from a specific instance of new problems, to mathematical description as the breakthrough point, gradually guide the student to abstract the basic concepts and conclusions.In this respect, information and calculation science specialized student often is superior in computer science or other engineering majors.This is because they have a more solid mathematical foundation.Moreover, information and calculation science specialized student tend to have very good logical thinking ability, which makes them to a deeper understanding of related algorithm and program, and this is the mathematical basis and solid.
In the process of teaching, emphasize the teacher as the leadership, take the student as the main body, use knowledge to accept type and combining the new problems discussion-based teaching methods, try to make the classroom teaching is full of vitality, the knowledge about "live".In teaching, the teacher speaks, students listen to the "new problem - the conclusion" teaching methods become a "new problem - explore - conclusion" teaching method.How to teach the students how to think, how to analyze, explore, so that the students can "common-sense", "one instance".Try to stimulate students' potential, stimulate students' preferences and desire for knowledge, in the process of lecture puts forward some new problems in the stimulating and exploratory, students are always in a state of positive thinking, fully mobilize students' learning initiative and enthusiasm.Try to find the best in students' creative thinking, encourage students to dare to express different opinion, realize the interaction between teachers and students, teaching is learning.This method provides students with a good learning environment and conditions, can give full play to students' independent thinking and pioneering spirit, cultivate application and innovation consciousness, practice and improve their ability to solve new problems.
In the matrix calculation "course teaching, for example.The author in the teaching process often some seminar in a planned way, require students to preview before class, the teaching content is decomposed into a series of new problems, and grab the new problems in the students easily making mistakes or difficult to understand.First let students in the classroom published their own understanding and thinking, and then discuss, friction environment provides students with a thought, to broaden students' horizons.For example in the interpretation of the "QR algorithm of implicit start" this part of content, first of all, students are required to consider abstract: using the technology of the implicit start again, why do good there, what is the theoretical basis, what is the main body of algorithm framework, and application on how to specific implementation and a series of new problems.By students actively thinking about these new problems, and stimulate the students' learning enthusiasm, change students' passive learning to active thinking, make originally complex difficult content became more simple, improve the teaching efficiency.
Theory teaching and practice are two important links of personnel training, there are differences between the two, have contact again.While emphasis on the basic theory, more to combining theory and practical.In the mathematical experiment course teaching, for example.Before every time the computer, we are requiring students to preview the related content, clear content, experiment purpose, a good program, and students are required to timely observation records the result of the experiment.In order to improve the efficiency of the experiment, we in the design of experiment, the students do each one machine, independent operation, teachers take the initiative to tour guide, according to the new problems appeared in the course of computer and errors, to correct in a timely manner.Write test report is to improve the students analysis is an important link in comprehensive ability, can play a digest of classroom teaching content, the function of deepening broaden the knowledge.At the same time, combining basic theory of curriculum, teachers can directly to the practical application of teaching methods, can teach students the basic theoretical knowledge, cultivate the students' good 'at the same time, the brain capacity, have twice the result with half the effort.In addition, combined with the feature of this major, to strengthen the construction of laboratory hardware and software is the necessary condition to strengthen students practical ability.To this end, the hospital has set up a professional laboratory for the department students in mathematical modeling, scientific and engineering computing, mathematics experiment teaching activities.
Compared with the traditional teaching mode, multimedia teaching has obvious advantages, after using can improve the students' learning initiative and enthusiasm.Multimedia teaching is a kind of new teaching means, it provides abundant teaching resources and good teaching environment.Many professional course in information and computing cannot leave the multimedia teaching, through elaborate multimedia courseware, complicated professional knowledge become lively and interesting.In the limited class teaching time, can give students the largest amount of information, highlight key, to resolve the difficulty, a simple interpretation of knowledge.
Now the multimedia teaching lacks the teachers' enthusiasm of participation, and is not conducive to the students to read, and increase the burden on the students' vision, is bad for students' autonomous learning.In the classroom, teachers focus on more of a multimedia operating, and weaken the students grasp the knowledge and skills of information feedback;Students focus on is demonstrated on the screen of the content, the teacher is a multimedia operator, the emotional communication between teachers and students of interpersonal replaced by cold man-machine dialogue, teachers also had to surrender the multimedia classroom, make the interaction between teachers and students become a difficult thing.
