Teachers can develop their teaching ability through new ways of teaching methods and action research. 2. Information technology integrated instruction contributes a lot to the improvement in students’ overall learning. 3. Information technology integrated instruction contributes more to the improvement of the learning effects of female students than male students. 4.
