Our new basic education curriculum reform (eighth) was officially launched in 1999, the purpose of which is to build the basic education curriculum meeting the requirements of quality education form in the 21st century. GM technology, as a new required course of a high school curriculum program of reform, is a brand new course, aimed at improving students'technology literacy, students practice skills and characteristics of the spirit of science curriculum, and is a bright spot of this curriculum reform. But it is not yet ripe for curriculum resources, school software, hardware device configuration to be improved; we are supposed to creatively use various advanced teaching methods, effective teaching methods to achieve the teaching objectives, completion of teaching tasks.Mankind entering the 21st century, with the advent of the Internet age, using the Internet for online learning is becoming increasingly common. Which, Moodle (vividly translated as "magic lamp" by the Chinese people) is an online course management system developed by the Australian teacher, Martin Dougiamas, based on constructivism theory, and it is one of the world's most popular course management systems. As a network learning platform, Moodle is well-known for its teaching practice in cultivating self-initiated learning by students, in changing students'previous learning styles, and the courage to dare to express their personal views. It has a strong sense of feasibility in high school first-line teaching process. Based on the theory of Moodle, research, investigation and analysis and practice, I have built high school General Education website based on the Moodle platform, designed high school technology course and put it into general use. And then I did a period of six months'(one semester) of teaching practice in two high school classes, adopting the action research. In the process of teaching practice, using Moodle learning platform for general technology curriculum-assisted learning proved to be extremely effective. And it is conducive to transform students'previous learning method, to help students form a learning community, and to help teachers and students more effectively communicate. It has a double meaning of research and practice for promoting the new curriculum. In this study, I have adopted the methods of the specific practice of teaching, research literature, questionnaire, case analysis, action research and other methods to carry out practical research, focusing on reflection, feedback, while summing up the implementation side, making the case of the general technology platform based on Moodle promotion program of practical significance.Through the post stages of teaching practice questionnaire surveys, interviews and other effects of testing students, according to detailed empirical analysis in common technical courses and effects of the application site based on Moodle platform, I concluded: the two classes of students enjoying general technology teaching method based on Moodle platform think highly of the design of Moodle platform. Moodle is a relatively suitable general technical teaching aids for teaching platform, which can really improve the quality of students and improve teaching standards of teachers. Using Moodle platform for general technology-assisted learning programs is feasible. Hope that this research can be of use for the educators, especially for the classroom teachers.
