4. Problems We Had To Overcome

1, Our surfing time is limited, we can only surf online in the computer room after school. So we make arrangements ahead of time,sorting out data in advance to improve the efficiency. Of course, we also asked the teacher to help us to do some, such as the web page making, photo processing, and works upload. 2, We are not very familiar with the web page making. We asked the teacher to teach our method of making web page, to ask the teacher for advice. Sometimes we also can find the method on the Internet. 3, Activity funds is not enough. We need some expenses to interview outside, such as transportation costs, these costs can not apply to the parents, we're frugal our living expenses, and teacher sponsored some for us, so that we can successfully complete the relevant work. 5? 4, the time is sufficient. Because we have to learn our courses, there are some other community activities, so the time is limited. so we make full use of the weekend.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

Kiwi fruit is the specialty of Cangxi County, as kiwi industry development, more and more people came to Cangxi to taste Kiwi fruit, and these fruits are also exported to the EU, Japan, the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other countries and regions. Kiwi planting makes Cangxi’s people out of poverty and can live an affluent lifestyle. With dreams of improving folks in my hometown lives, Kiwi fruit becomes an important specialty in local. It is necessary for us to promote my hometown’s specialty. Through our interview, we deeply feel how important the kiwi is to the locals. We got a lot of supports and help during study, and learn more skills. The whole research period made us feel good. We learned that the unity was very important us on real projects. As long as unity, A man can succeed at almost anything. For months we lost more, and got a lot of return toward common goals.

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

As the famous educator Tao Xingzhi said: our education should liberate the minds of children, so that they can think; to liberate the child's eyes, so that they can see; to liberate the hands of children, so that they can do; to liberate the child's time, so that they can learn what they want. Interview allows us to learn how to communicate with people, how to deal with all kinds of people, of course, preparation before the interview should be done well. To interview people photography, let us know what is the focus, aperture size. We learned sorting and classification of the methods and skills through collecting materials, refining the theme, planning activities. We also learned how to cooperate with the team, how to process the information and make website with computer.
