6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Our school encourages students to partricipate in any social practice during their spare time. Working on a project like this website is a big chance to students to study more than what teachers teach in class. As vocational high school students, we had never come across such an experience of doing research project before so this was all new to us. Now and after finishing this project, for the skills we can say that the abilities of social communication and creative thinking have been improved during the process of building our web project. No longer content to go outside the school for having a look, we also have strong interest in participating in local community projects. And the aim of taking the project is not restricted to writing report, but adhere to the services for society.
