4. Problems We Had To Overcome

We meet many difficulties in the work, such as: the conflict of time. We had classed in the day. When we were after school, it was going to dark. And the light was not good enough, so we had problem of taking pictures. When we had classes, the interviewees were working; when we were after school, they got off work also, so we couldn’t find them. And shops closed and so on. In order to interview someone and take good pictures, we had to interview them on weekends.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

The old town has old tradition, old stories, traditional culture, and rich local special products. But much rubbish is produced during the construction in the old town. So we need to protect environment for our health. Everyone needs to do something for the future of our earth which makes our earth be young forever and be a beautiful home for human being.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?

In order to study and work well, we have to schedule. We use weekends to work out of the campus. So we can improve our network skills and the ability of collecting and handling information, which you can’t learn from books. We contacted interviewees by telephone. We got first information by looking up information, doing tourism survey, and interviewing companies and so on. We used Photoshop to process pictures with the help from teachers.
