Team Collaboration

Our team has collaborated in many ways to develop the Project. Kids have recollected information in different books, situation that is difficult in the school because it doesn’t count with enough bibliographical material; the school counts with a computer’s room but it is used only once a week with 2 or 3 students per computer. Due to this difficulty children organize the work like this: some of them made the designs in paper for the website, some other s took the photos, another group made the drawings that are going to be animated later on to give the website a better presentation. All of them recollected information and during the technology classes they organized the information with the teacher’s help.

Team Diversity

Our team counts with just a few material to develop the project because the school doesn’t count with the adequate resources and computer’s programs to make the work, added to this, the kids that integrate the team have very difficult familiar and economic situations. Thanks to the good ideas, the work spirit and the desire for success, we let behind many difficulties we have to get our objective. We took advantage of the abilities of our kids to draw, read comprehensibly, their willing to for the technology classes and specially their enthusiasm. The kids that integrate the project belong to 2 different religions but this was not a problem for their participation in the contest. All of them worked very enthusiastically because we all are in love with our city.
