4. Problems We Had To Overcome

Our school is a primary school in the mountains, the school has poor infrastructure, and so is our computer skill. In the process of making web pages the teacher firstly taught us how to make webpages, how to deal with pictures, how to make a simple animation. And then we work together and help each other as a group. Also our English is very poor, we can’t translate it into English. Although we felt very tired, we learned the image processing, web-page making and other simple computer technology skills, we felt very happy and no regrets.
