I just thought about it and felt that I indeed should update. Here's what I'll do: I'll post this now to mark my attendance, and then around two or three o'clock, once I've finished coding, I'll update it. All you'll need to do then is refresh this chapter.

The ideological security education in our Vocational Colleges has always been a concern because higher education institutions are important places for cultivating future talent. With the rapid development of digital technology, new media technology has also emerged. New media, unlike traditional media such as newspapers, radio, and television, is characterized by providing information and services to teachers and students through network technology. The inherent model of ideological education in Vocational Colleges has changed with the development of new media technology. At the same time, the characteristics of new media are a double-edged sword for the network ideological security of Vocational Colleges. Compared to traditional media, new media is convenient, diverse, fast, and open, and provides a platform for the collision of thoughts and cultural exchange between teachers and students. However, the services provided by new media technology pose challenges to the ideological security education in Vocational Colleges. Its interactivity, virtuality, and openness can change students' cognition and concepts as they access fragmented information, leading to leaps in their thinking. The network propaganda team at Vocational Colleges is uneven in quality and lacks understanding of new media technology, failing to deeply comprehend its essence and role. Some staff remain at a primary stage, limited to merely browsing web pages and watching videos. They are incapable of engaging interactively with students, such as discussing views on current hot topics and responding to students' questions online in a timely manner. Most staff have multiple roles and insufficient time to deal with adverse information on online platforms, coupled with the school's budgetary constraints on maintaining these platforms, leading to many bottlenecks in ideological security [1]. Hence, any issues that arise cannot be reported in a timely manner, communication with superiors is delayed, and relevant departments cannot respond to online public opinion immediately. Therefore, staff are required to have high professional skills and ensure that content is strictly reviewed before publishing, to maintain that the displayed content does not deviate from political direction and policy guidelines, and to convey correct values to students. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain and upgrade new media platforms promptly to keep the promotional content fresh and lively, consistently delivering timely, active, and healthy online information. Additionally, a sound new media construction mechanism must be established and its system guarantees be perfected to take the initiative in network education work. Given the above situations, new media platforms must not only be used efficiently but also scientifically. Therefore, it is urgent to study this topic.

II. The impact of new media on the network ideological education in Vocational Colleges

(1) To ensure the socialist development direction of Vocational Colleges. Vocational Colleges are irreplaceable places for training college students, while new media platforms are the main channels for Vocational Colleges to carry out ideological and political work and campus cultural construction for students. These platforms are closely related to every college student, as new technologies and carriers can expose students to new ideological content. However, non-mainstream cultures brought by new media technology can negatively influence students' cognition and their academic lives. Vocational Colleges bear the primary task of fostering students' perspectives on life, value systems, and worldviews, tied to the issues of what kind of people to nurture, how to nurture, and for whom to nurture. Specifically, it is necessary to lead vocational college culture construction and inspire both teachers and students to maintain the socialist direction of education with socialist core values.

(2) To strengthen the stance of mainstream ideology in Vocational Colleges. After the reform and opening up, higher education institutions became the main battleground for ideological infiltration by hostile Western forces. They used religion to carry out political infiltration among students internally, including direct infiltration through media like radio, television, and the internet to promote Western culture and denigrate Marxism, as well as indirect infiltration, for example, through cultural and literary exchanges and indirectly incorporating bourgeois ideology in classroom teaching [2]. These actions have had a considerable negative impact on the ideology of higher education institutions in our country. With the application of new media on the internet, our Vocational Colleges also face some supervision issues. Some workers lack a correct notion of educational service. After all, the internet is virtual, and coupled with some technical deficiencies, it is challenging to identify negative information, compromising the protection of students' rights. Hence, reinforcing the ideological security construction in Vocational Colleges is an arduous and far-reaching task.

III. Characteristics of network ideological education in Vocational Colleges under the perspective of new media

Compared to traditional media, new media is presented to everyone more in digital form and is characterized by its broad channels, convenient promotion, and rich forms. Under the perspective of new media, whether we can do a good job of ideological work is related to the future and fate of students. Before proceeding with this work, it is first necessary to understand its characteristics.

(1) Strong political sensitivity. Compared to other groups, students in Vocational Colleges pay more attention to the nation's fate and form and are prone to express extreme and emotional language in their public statements. Due to the presence of forums, microblogs, and friends' circles, inappropriate remarks can spread quickly across the country, creating adverse effects. As the students in Vocational Colleges come from all over the country, once there is a public opinion incident, it can lead to considerable social transmission. Therefore, the ability to judge right from wrong is required, especially concerning multinational interests and heroic deeds, where misinterpretation must be avoided.

(2) Interactivity. With the ubiquity of the internet, students have more diversified ways of acquiring knowledge. In the digital age, book knowledge can be obtained through the internet. There are many high-quality course resources online that can be selected according to the actual situation of the students. Educators can use apps like WeChat and QQ to guide students' learning outcomes and use some "Internet celebrity" vocabulary to bridge the gap between teachers and students, such as "craftsmanship," "primordial intelligence," "melon eating masses." The timely application of new media enables mobile teaching to be integrated into daily life, unrestricted by time and location. New Media breaks the traditional model of didactic education, satisfying the need for communication between teachers and students. Teachers are the leaders who need first to create problem scenarios, boosting students' autonomous learning abilities. Through real-time interaction and messages on the message board, they can deduce students' real psychological needs. Students are freer to express their inner thoughts and engage in mutual exchanges at any time. Teachers then provide appropriate guidance.

(3) Concealment. Compared to traditional ideological work, network ideology is particularly persuasive and covert. Various negative emotions are hidden within objectively rational content, misleading students in online public opinion, and ultimately leading to the infiltration of non-mainstream ideologies. Especially in certain online chat groups, discussions in a closed communication environment can breach legal and moral boundaries and, consequently, affect a person's cognition and thought process.

IV. Challenges Faced by Vocational Colleges in Ideological Security Education in the Context of New Media

(I) It has become more difficult to discern the truth. News, social media, and blogs overflow with information, but the veracity of this online information remains questionable. Rumors abound and are often unreliable. Students, faced with an onslaught of mixed-quality information, especially when certain opinions are presented to them, find it difficult to identify useful information and filter out harmful content. Lacking extensive social experience, students therefore need to be highly vigilant.

(II) The internet environment for information dissemination is complex. While online resources are abundant, their content is of mixed quality. Some redundant information circulating online can cause university students to lose their ability to judge and think rationally, leading to poor choices. Certain online games are rife with violence and pornography, which can lead to students' downfall and erode their values. Some students develop internet addictions, causing physical and psychological harm.

(III) The mechanisms for safety education face challenges. With online resources being complex and students lacking self-discipline and restraint, they might be impacted by harmful information. There are drawbacks in the security education system, such as insufficient monitoring and control over false information and cultural trash, making students susceptible to distraction and leading to harmful consequences. As a result, it causes university students to lose their way and deviate from the correct path, necessitating improvements in our security systems or the formulation of relevant policies and rules tailored to the use of the internet to help shape correct values.

(IV) Educators are challenged. With the rapid development of new media on the internet, which has infiltrated the field of education, traditional educational concepts and methods can no longer meet the diverse developmental needs of students' intelligence [3]. Teachers must keep pace with the times, continually improve their educational methods, raise their level of professionalism and their ability to apply new media technology, and stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning.

V. Strategies for Constructing Ideological Security in Vocational Colleges in the Context of New Media

(I) Establishing correct ideological awareness. National security and social stability cannot be separated from ideological security, as diversified internet information dissemination and the hegemonism of Western countries have seriously undermined national unity and social security. Vocational colleges have not given enough attention to ideological security education. First and foremost, the entire faculty and student body should possess correct ideological awareness, and topics such as national political views and life moral views should be emphasized in the education of students at vocational colleges [4]. Students in vocational colleges represent a new force and reflect the country's image. Moreover, university students who like new things can be significantly influenced in their thinking and ideology. With the application of new media on the internet, vocational colleges must take measures to adjust their teaching models and methods to ensure that students can express their emotions properly, facing the challenges to ideology correctly. While new media on the internet brings convenience to ideological security education in vocational colleges, it also poses further demands. Educators must innovate methods of information dissemination to strengthen students' patriotic sentiment. Only by establishing correct ideological awareness in their daily work and study can teachers and students maintain a healthy and progressive status on campus and contribute bricks and mortar to the future construction of the motherland.

(II) Creating a healthy information dissemination environment. Students are still in the formative stages of their values, so the information dissemination environment has a significant impact on them. Artificial intelligence technology can identify keywords, and machines can automatically block and delete negative information and vulgar comments. Subsequent human review ensures the precision of this process to further secure the content. For adolescents, the internet can set special permissions and access to ban violating accounts and prevent secondary dissemination. Teachers can understand the needs and psychological states of their students in advance and use online platforms to guide them correctly, helping students develop healthy internet habits. By combining online and offline approaches, students' internet literacy can be improved. At the same time, students' new media literacy must be guided and shaped, ultimately providing them with a positive information dissemination environment.

(III) Enhancing and establishing ideological security education mechanisms in vocational colleges. First, vocational colleges need to create a secure and scientific responsibility system. Guiding teachers and students with the correct theories of the Party, intensifying security control among teachers and students, and strictly prohibiting the penetration of Western thoughts. The responsibility system for ideological work must be effectively implemented, raising teachers' and students' awareness of ideological security and firming up their beliefs to resist all kinds of erroneous views [5]. Second, teachers need regular training to keep up with the times and educate students according to current events and trends. After training, regular assessments of teachers should be conducted, with promotions and commendations based on assessment outcomes. Third, vocational colleges, editorial departments, publishers, and media need to join forces to strengthen management, enabling new media to better serve ideological security education.

(IV) Strengthening the guidance of values. New media on the internet is a key means for vocational colleges to propagate ideological consciousness to students, so this platform can be used to help students establish correct values. Students must solidify their beliefs in Marxism and socialism to avoid the subversive and infiltrating miscalculations of Western hostile forces. Ideological struggles are carried out through the internet, where they are more covert and destructive. In the virtual battleground of cyberspace, we must resist and defend against these forces. Vocational college educators must seize opportunities to promote positive ideas and core values to students and prevent them from going astray. Leading students to reflect on themselves daily, set realistic goals, and promote patriotism. By sharing exemplary cases of Red revolution stories, students can genuinely discern moral concepts of "glory" and "shame" in their hearts. Honesty, kindness, pursuit of lofty ideals, and self-improvement. Utilize personal strengths to manifest value [6].

(V) Establishing a discourse construction system. Traditional educational methods are unidirectional, whether through newspapers or expert lectures, the disseminated information is filtered. Although it's positive information, students lack strong interest in learning and show low enthusiasm, sometimes leading to an aversion to learning. Some vocational college teachers still prioritize research over education, which is an incorrect teaching approach that should be rectified. By understanding students' thought processes during their time at school and engaging students in discussions on hot topics in the world today, teachers can help students identify harmful information and incorporate content that is of interest to them. This effectively leverages new media's advantages.
