• Our Computer and Internet Access：
Our school has only one computee room which do not have the network access and computers of our teachers and in the offices which are connected with the network while students do not have the access to the computers , letting off the network . As a consequence , we had a tight schedule , with many information and reference downloaded in the teachers’ offices after school and other works finishing in the computer room without network.
- Problems We Had To Overcome
- Unstable school network . As our school network was connected by a single ADSL Proxy with all the other computers distributing this single one Proxy , the network was very slow and we usually waited for long time when downloading.
- A tight schedule . Teachers had busy days due to teaching classes and we had our classes which could not be missed . Therefore ,we had to fight for the time and did our project in the leisuing time and a hour after lunch .This was still not enough , therefore , we took several weekends time to finish it .
- Setbacks in the design . Since we were not familiar with many softwares , we had difficulties during the design . Fortunately , our teachers teached us to manipulate Photoshop and Dreamweaver software in the part time.
- Lack of English proficiency . we were not high in english levels and the committee required an english version work . Therefore , we had to turn to our english teachers and teachers from CISS . We appreciated it .
• Our Project Sound Bite：
Looking back to this month ,we experienced a lot , both sweetness and bitterness , and we also learnt a lot . We went to the spot personally and interviewed villagers several times to make more people know Heiquan Reservoir in our hometown , see the beautiful and original natural environment . What’s more , we wanted more people to realize the precious and shotage of the water resources , appealling to protecting , cherishing and saving water .
Although our power were weak , we had passed this strength to the children in our hometown . For more than a month , we lost a lot but got more toward a common goal . |
