Besides, teaching & learning by net can make use of flash, sound, motion picture , and words. It can make learning more interesting, and inspire our learning interests.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome

At first, the problem we must overcome is how to divide our time. Being third grade students in senior high school, we have to deal with both school and cram school homework. We design a time schedule to help us well arrange our working and studying time. Later, the problem is where to collect in formation. Although we've collected mush from books, magazines, and web, some of them is incomplete or wrong. This problem greatly bothers us. Finally, by the assistance's from students of NCKU history department and Tainan Tourism Bureau, we could collect the correct information, and finish this work in time.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

Tainan City is very beautiful.
