4. Problems We Had To Overcome
This is the first time for us to take part in the website contest. We are nervous but without any experience. So at first we didn't know how to start. It is said that Ms. Li has tutored students in three contests. Then we released a lot. After the group meeting and training from Ms. Li, we determined the topic. Then we did the division of work in detail. We started the job like this. The classmates collected some pictures, searched some materials and visited the Sheep Competing Games on site. Then we made a frame for the website. Based on this we collected the materials in different types and designed the structure. By more than one month’s cooperation, our materials were almost enough. Then we started to put the contents into the website structure. When we finished the initial version, the tutor commented that although it had a good structure, it was not good to look. The color match was unreasonable. Some hyperlinks had problems. The main page was not clear. In the following steps of producing it was smooth with the guidance of the tutors. With the help of the tutors, we did some modifications. So the website looked more beautiful, the contents more specified and the target more clear. At the beginning of November we uploaded the finished structure and content to the Internet. We are more relaxed. Everyone had a feeling of achievement. All in all, in the engagement of DigiChina we made our own pages of the website, which made us get a lot.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
From the special study, we know about the development and current situation of Sheep Competition. The classmates made some promotion inside and outside the campus, which encouraged more classmates join us. This makes the schoolmates grow the sentiment of loving labors and hometowns. By this activity we not only promote the sheep competition, but also promote the sheep industry of Shangyi to the nationwide and to the world. It also attracts more people to make contribution to local economic prosperity and home construction.
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
The main purpose of taking part in DigiChina is promoting our hometown. This kind of activity is good for our observation and practical ability and makes our courses diverse. And also it provides enough native materials. So in our school the courses and native cultures are combined with Sheep Competition culture, which makes more schoolmates learn about the native culture.
