4. Problems We Had To Overcome
The two main problems we had to face during our project were the sources of information to finish the project and the technical obstacles. Because we didn't live during this period so we don't know anything about this period and how to describe this period clearly. In addition, we haven't designed any website before so we had to delay for 4 days to figure out how to design the layout of our website. During our project, the information team had to phone and send emails to some people asking them for permissions to have interviews with them to collect information. The technology team had to went to some IT academy to learn techniques and improve their designing skills.

6. How did your activities and research for this Doors to Diplomacy Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Our project is assigned to simple mission to bring knowledge and information about Vietnam’s economy and the effecting of diplomacy to it. All data in our project is absolutely correct so our project supported students who were interested in history and especially Vietnam’s history and wanted to know more. Also some required coursework about diplomacy or economy of Vietnam in our school needed our project as a source of information and documents to finish them.
