4. Problems We Had To Overcome
For this contest, we met some difficulties. First, we found that taking good pictures is not an easy thing. It’s common to take no sense or not clear photos. So we decide to refer other website’s photo and ask for photographers advice. After this useful help, we finally had useable pictures. Second difficult we met is we have a lot of information about Cijin, but we felt that is not good enough to touch someone’s heart, so we set out to interview local people, let us had more story about Cijin island and it’s history.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
The production of CyberFair can learn a lot of things that are not normally learned in class, such as the distribution of work, make use of time, etc., we also learned that the work is not an easy thing. Subject research is a different learning way from the regularization teaching of school. Because each person maybe gets the different harvest, it all depend on how you effort for. Through the research, we had more experienced than others. And about the production of web pages, data collection, data typesetting, team cooperation also has a practical application. These are all kinds of personal experience is necessary to pay effort, so get something is very valuable.
