4. Problems We Had To Overcome

1.Times: We are all junior two students. Besides lots of school tests, our school often holds many contests and activities for us. We are really busy. But each member in our team is very responsible. We all finish our job in time. "Union is strength". 2.Interview: It's a big problem for us. We send lots of E-mail to tho hostor of the web sites, but no one answer us! However, we'll keep trying. 3.Translation: It's really hard for junior high students to ranslate Chinese into English......However, we'll try our best.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

"Web Design Art" is the best computer technology!!

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

Through this program, our direct teacher makes computer class more lively. Besides teaching how to use computer, she also teach students ow to appreciate other's work. Sometimes, she may teach some hard software, such as flash. Now our computer class becomes more lively and vivid. Furthermore, we change our view for art. People used to think art is a picture by water color and markers. But, it's not true. Art is really broad. What we want to introduce is "Electronic Art". We can use some time to appreciate different kind of art.

2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

We discuss our home page with the other home page designer by E-mail and leave message on web sites. As a result, every one can be the speaker. But it's a pity that we can't discuss with. Those designers face to face.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?

Through this program, we surf lots of web sites. We are surprised at the giant net world. How did they do such great work? It is interesting to us. I used to feel I am good at computers, but now, I know I still have to learn a lot. What I know is only a small part of computer knowledge. That's why we choose "Electronic Art Web Site" as our topic.

4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

We can find lots of helpers on the internet. They always give us different opinions and advice. They left their advice on the internet. Thanks for those who give us advice. They makes our page better and better.

5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)

We discover:Our captain Evan is the oldest internet surfer, and he show us a lot of strange web sites and programs. This time we use some special software to design our web site. Our Lessons:Introducing Electronic Art Web Sites, of course our web site must show in art.It is easy to say that,but it is hard to do this!In our group, only our captain Evan and Nico can use flash well, so they do almost whole web site, they must be tired!
