4. Problems We Had To Overcome
The difficulties you will encounter include: 1. The journey will cross the general road and is not a bicycle lane, so we will ask another parent or someone who is good at riding a bicycle to protect it at the end of the team. 2. The journey is too far for many students, some students have the physical ability to complete the whole journey, other students may participate in a certain part of the journey. 3. Written web pages in English will use online translation software, and also ask the class instructor (bishop in English) to help find errors and use reasonable grammar
5. Our Project Sound Bite

For the school, it is for teachers to develop the experience of guiding students' web pages, and the experience of participating in similar activities, and even become the characteristic of this school 3. For the community, let residents also know how to cherish the existing tourism resources, and even make better connections and development.
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
For the first-year students of junior high school, the course to modify the webpage has not yet started, so we use the webpage of the previous senior to modify it, and we can only recognize English words less than a thousand words, so in addition to using translation software, we also request Help from English teacher.
In the course of the project, students learned how to use communication and E-mail to send files and photos, and use Google Doc to edit documents together; of course, they also learned basic bicycle driving safety. They also learned time control And assign work.
Using the Internet to teach and learn is more efficient than traditional methods, but it is also easy for everyone to use habits and laziness and it is impossible to really know whether the learning is invested or whether it was completed by himself.
