4. Problems We Had To Overcome
Time is limited The mid-term examination was coming while we took part in Web page creation activity. Students are carefully preparing for the coming test in order that they can get a good result, but four of us had to spend a lot of time to prepare network exposition. So after communicating with teachers of all subjects, we have made teacher's understanding, as long as we can smoothly complete network exposition, the grade is also good. Just in this short of 10 days, from the beginning of knowing nothing about ancient Hanchang cultures, to go on a field trip for getting material, and read large information, we sort out the relatively complete information in the end. Interview arrangement We had to go on a field trip in our own time, and the place for our interview is far away from school. Thanks to teacher Tao taking us to do interviews many times. Techniques It was a big problem for us to make web pages with images and words. Thanks to teacher Xu, he taught us how to edit images and make web pages. He is our strong IT instructor in the later web pages creation.
