Abstract
Information technology has a revolutionary impact on the development of education. Therefore, it is a strategic choice to comprehensively respond to educational development challenges in the information age to promote the modernization of education with education informatization. Countries worldwide have begun to attach importance to the development of educational information technology and have successively formulated a series of policies and plan to guide its development. At the same time, implementing a number of measures has dramatically promoted the realization of educational information technology development goals. Taking the United States, Britain, China, and Singapore as examples, we reviewed the promotion strategies of global education informatization and summarized its typical characteristics and development trends based on an overview of the development routes of various countries.
