4. Problems We Had To Overcome
We also encounter a lot of difficulties in the process of collecting material and making webpage. Traditional folk art is our topic this time, but it is very difficult to collect leather embroidery on the Internet at the beginning. To tell you the truth, we do not know there is folk art in hometown without this topic. In order to collect information, we have to visit and take photos by ourselves, the weather is good at the first day, but it was noon time when we reached Huangyuan occupation school. We found Qi technical staff for a long time, but workers were leaving except a few people were practicing. It was very cold when we went there at the second time, but we still did not find the heads of company. We heard that all of the heads had participated in local crafts exhibition to Chengdu, we were disappointed and returned. Luckily, the guide teacher helped us to contact Liu Qiong who was the headmaster in Xining woman occupation school, and we received some pictures through the email. Sometimes we had to delay the morning class because of collating information, some teachers will think we are bad students, but we will show outstanding achievements to the teachers and tell them we are excellent. During collecting, arranging and making webpage time, because the school is far away from the county, computer is often off line, so we use word processing on computer, we can put it in website after the network is normal. We should not only make webpage carefully but also study hard. After all, we have been students in grade eight, this year is more important for us, the learning task is heavier, it is also the turning point of junior school, we can't let down. Otherwise we will not be admitted to go to the high school next year.

Also wish we can achieve good results in this project.
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
In class teaching, we mainly study the knowledge of basic theory. We performed this study is mainly to carry on the social practice activity, we can connect the knowledge we learnt in school with social practice, collecting data and making webpage according to the knowledge we learnt; not only expending our horizon, understanding the history of leather embroidery, production process and its development foreground but also appealing everybody to pay attention to it. To support its development. Not only master the computer knowledge but also exercise our social ability. Although, we encountered some difficulties, we learn unknown knowledge previously, update our understanding of traditional folk art, through this project, we three people think that the school is lack of practical curriculum, we hope the classroom teaching and practical curriculum can perfectly complement each other. We will master more skills. All in all, this activity is a great helpful to us.
