4. Problems We Had To Overcome

Encounter problems description Our solutions there is time confliction between students and respondents Even though all students like the job of interview very much, there is time confliction between courses and interview and the majority of students need to cram, so our interview plan is tested constantly. The teachers visit, reading lonely and arrange additional time to replicate and discuss. Safety problems The most important thing is safety problem of going out students in the process of research. However, our interview time is temporary confirmed usually. So we often cancel interviews because of a temporary safety factor. Appoint interview plan, decide interview ahead of time as soon as possible and propose insurance timetable The difference between teachers and students is cognitive in subject research Although our students are interested in participating in this study, but they are boring with finishing material and interviews, the content of typing and other drudgery. The most important thing is talking with students in detail, showing study process in subsequent data, sorting and explaining. Making home page urgent Because the prophase finishing work is taken a lot of time so post-production time is too limited. With the help of professional production personage, we solved the problem. The cooperation with school teaching should be strengthened. Because the teaching time of teachers and students is too limited, the students and teachers complained that the web page was often occupied by other activities Contact with supervisor vice and principal actively, let them arrange unnecessary activities and work as far as possible and our time is ensured finally.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

The deepest feeling is living environment of people in this activity. I can’t believe that the people are living in this kind of environment in the development of social swift today. Facing the implementation of our village construction, I think that the people should get out of the trouble and have a comfortable living environment

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

With characters in our hometown as the research object, we hope we can cultivate self inquiring ability of students, such as plan worked, data collection, interview, questionnaire and webpage making techniques, etc through project data collection and production. We find that the students have enthusiasm to explore from teaching field, but there is no proper guidance. We guide the students to carry on the project exploration through our correct guidance. Except for the shows of research results, we hope students can be influenced by the things in hometown through this research, they can set up correct outlook on life and world view, it purifies the students' mind, let the students yearning good things, away from the ugly.
