At present, the domestic distinctive websites are as follows: TABLE I.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY THEORY A. and Technical Characteristics of length of each video should be limited to 3-7 minutes. To motivate the students' enthusiasm and sense of participation, we can add diverse interactive elements to class, such as the exercises, experiments, virtual instrument and program evaluation. In addition, each section contains a formative test, such as summary of the work. course also includes termination test, such as mid-term exam and final exam. After the result is qualified, students will obtain the graduation certificate and credit of the course.

B. Characteristics of in Mode teaching model is elaborately designed based on learning science. teaching principles of include the principles of human centered learning, constructivism learning, procedural teaching and meaningful learning. In essence, lays its foundation on students and recreates the Teaching and learning behavior chain. Based on the interactive system of the Internet, this combines the four elements of the system, teacher, student and learning resources. course is relatively short and pithy which can attract the attention of students. It also can quickly solve the problem of students' learning and make learning more efficient. At the same time, a large number of data from online courses in primary and secondary schools can also help teachers to understand the weak point of the students for producing feedback in the future of teaching. III. HOW TO EXPLORE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM wave is sweeping across the world. It is bound to have a strong impact on higher education and radiate into all levels of education and the education in the near future. We can see some of the recent advances in the field of open courseware and rise of many online portals which provide University equivalent courses for millions all across the world and their potential to get better [4]. With the development of MOOC, it can be applied to the teaching in primary and secondary schools. It can improve students' learning initiative and enthusiasm, extend autonomous learning content and strengthen self-planning capacity through online learning, discussion and interaction between teachers and students. More middle school teachers and students will be able to enjoy the benefits brought by [5]. A. Middle School Should Develop More Courses. Schools with excellent teaching resources can put their own excellent courses into the platform. So we can focus on the advantages of national resources to build a series of math courses in primary and secondary schools for teachers and students to share. These courses will play a vital role in classes and outside classes, which are convenient for learners to choose flexibly and diversely. B. Adapt for Your Middle School As the Figure 1 shown, take Harvard students as an example: the number of students aged from 21 to 25 years old ranked No.1, 25 to 30 years old the second, and the age range 11 to 20 is significantly less [6].This may be related to the curriculum content in MOOC, while also reflecting is underutilized among the current middle school students. In order to facilitate students to learn the lesson of extra-curricular knowledge, we can set the curriculum for middle school students, which is in accordance with the criterion of curriculum. For conditional schools, we can make use of the high quality curriculum resources and develop the platform which is suitable for our school students to build an efficient teaching design programs and methods. After completion of the school curriculum, many middle school students can continue to browse the site to consolidate and expand knowledge in time. At the same time, we should also develop a number of interest courses for the future development of the primary and secondary school students to cultivate a good foundation. Fig. 1.
