4. Problems We Had To Overcome
Our main problem in creating the project was our shortcoming in the English language skills. This is because public schools lack an effective English program. Another obstacle was the use of technology, because students do not have computers in their classroom and they do not have a background in the subject. Despite these drawbacks have successfully completed the project, with the help of other teachers and students.
