4. Problems We Had To Overcome
The problem that we need to overcome during making this project is selecting the best topic category of eight categories and finding the clear information about the topic. Beside that, we also have problems with computer cameras. Our school has equipment such as proper computers and internet connection. Our computers have a camera but, maybe some students don’t know where the camera is when they need it and there is no teacher. But it was solved by the teachers telling them where the camera was. At the beginning of doing this project, we had problems choosing the information that will be informative and acknowledge the reader. Most of us never go to that place, we only pass that place. But by doing this project we realized that we have to visit that place and experience the beauty and so many activities that can open our horizons.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Our integrated project, fit to our national curriculum standard that forced students to be an active researcher and also be active in the class by doing research.Sociology subject. The project also connected with our Digital Technology Interest Group curriculum: developing a website, creating content, editing pictures and Entrepreneurship curriculum: Entrepreneurship education Ciputra Way. According to us, our entrepreneurship curriculum shapes a new mindset for us. We can see that entrepreneurship education will spread kindness in a collaborative society. Therefore, through this project we learned more about kindness and collaboration principles and shared them with the Global School Net Community. From this project we learned: how to research about a site that give influence to society, we can explore the information from various resources (internet, books, interview, video, etc), compile it and develop a web. This is a new skill for us. We feel proud about this website, and we really enjoyed our group team work. We discovered, creating a web is a challenge for us, not easy but it’s interesting. We learned many things from the internet more than our traditional classroom.
