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

They addressed high content standards. In language arts we have to media and literary research and this is what this does. I learned how to work together with different kinds of people. Each person working on a different thing.

We used the websites to find the information, and we used laptops to enter the information.

We went to the specific restaurants and asked questions about the restaurant.
