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

During this project,we have learned something new and earned experience about overcoming the problems.

1) What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your CyberFair project?

We used the computer software named 'Dreamweaver 8' for this project.It has helped us a lot when building the website.No tools were donated by businesses or schools.Our most valuable tool was our web site development program since we couldn't do anything without it.

2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

We were all ambassadors when we were preparing this project.

We had a lot of advice from: Our teacher The people of whose sites we have used Domain hosters.
