4. Problems We Had To Overcome

In the process of collecting material and making web pages, we also encountered many difficulties. This research is about the campus cultural life, the original data was found by ourselves with the teacher's assignment, although every day we all lived on campus, but starting to do the research, we didn't know where to start , what data should be collected and did not know how to start. Because we live here every day, we all got used to it, and didn't think about the life here at all, we didn't know from which aspects we introduce the life to you. There was no conclusion after the first group discussion, later, after collecting opinions from many parties, with advices from teachers, we organized several aspects to promote, for outsiders to understand our western rural pupils' learning environment and special fun of extracurricular activities. During the collecting, sorting and making web pages, the school network was often power off and disconnected, we processed texts on microcomputer, and when the network was back to normal, recorded the texts into the web pages. In addition, after all it was the first time for us to participate, there had been many things that we did not understand, which have to be taught by teachers in person, with the guidance of teacher Ling and Jiang, we learned a lot of knowledge, such as image processing, how to conduct interview, our teachers were working very hard for finishing web page making, and here, we were very grateful to them.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

This activity got support of school leaders, teachers and students. By personally finding, experiencing, interviewing and collecting and sorting materials, we exercised our own various abilities. More importantly by this project activity, we understood that the saying 'beauty needs to be found with heart', the students also love life, learning, and their school more.
