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

1. Our project are related to our national and entrepreneurship curricullum standard for Social Study, Civics, and Language about How to Use Internet and Social Networks in Positive Ways. The project also connected with our Computer lesson curricullum which is learnt about how to develop a website, edit, insert picture and video. In Journalistic Interest Group program we develop our writting skills and exploring the information of some issues. In Web Design School Interest Group program we learn about making website. According to us, our entrepreneurship curriculum shape a new mindset for us, we can see that entrepreneurship education will change the poverty in our society. Therefore, through this project we learned more about entrepreneurship principles and share to the Global School Net Community. From this project we learned: how to research about a leadership figure, we can explore the information from various resources (internet, books, interview, video, etc), compile it and develop a web. This is a new skill and new experience for us. During making this project we can work together as a teamwork. We are willing to help each others.
