Abstract: Within the realm of emerging agricultural sciences, the swift progression of the agricultural IoT (Internet of Things) sector is notable. It highlights the scarcity of applied IoT technical personnel. In order to meet the evolution of IoT technology and the urgent demand for professional and technical talents in smart agriculture, this paper discusses "the transformation and modernization of educational content and instructional strategies of “Internet of Things application technology”. Based on the uniqueness of the course, the training goal of graduate students and the characteristics of our university, the teaching team has implemented a comprehensive optimization in teaching: Refreshed the curriculum and adopted cutting-edge pedagogical approaches, and improved the assessment system. Through these reforms, a new teaching model has been constructed, which integrates theoretical teaching and practical case analysis, echoes between basic knowledge points and the frontier dynamics of the field, and closely connects classroom learning and research projects. At the same time, combined with online and offline mixed teaching, further explored the teaching reform path of IoT application technology. These initiatives aim to ignite the academic enthusiasm of graduate students and enhance their practical capacity to utilize theoretical insights for tackling real-world issues.
