"SNORE" You know what? You can die while you sleep!

2009
Snoring is a nightmare for both the snorer and the ones subjected to it because they happen to be lying nearby. The habit also could not be more dangerous to anyone but the snorers themselves. It is not funny at all if you know that snoring can kill you in your sleep.

Team Collaboration

After we got the project we set our team to gain more information by having own duties such as seeking academic information and study them, interviewing, graphic and website designing. Thai team did the curriculum after Chinese friend did the interviewing. The teachers set the time line and followed up them closely. Every step we communicate via email. It is very important in the globalization world. We need to work online, and ThinkQuest web and Document online are great tools. This project it's not easy for student because they have to do the project after school and weekend. Students have to learn new things from working from examples, to learn how to do the online-survey, and to learn how to create the references and citations. They cannot use copy and paste short keys anymore. Technologies are very helpful for this project. Our work uses PBL concepts. All process and project is not easy for them by they confirmed "IT'S FUN"

Team Diversity

There was one student from our team from China and there were 5 students from Thailand. Mr.Wichai was the teacher and Mr. Wang Feng was our assistant teacher. In our team , there were students from other program, one is from English Program , and the other from China , they had not known each other before. So that two teachers who had known each other from involving seminar from Singapore tried every afford to help them to have inter-participation by using Email with Chinese students. The students had an opportunity to choose the topic that they were interested, so that they choose snore topic because they had suspected that why their fathers got snoring. More over they wondered that they will snore when they will be adults. The process of this project is studying information about snoring. They discovered that snoring is an initiate sign to become other diseases. It can kill people during their sleeping. There were 2 most challenging. One was how to find the way to finish our project when our time was very rush and students ' time nearly to have examination. The second challenging was how we gained information from our own context. So, we send out our questionnaires translated into 3 languages together: Thai, English and Chinese. We send them via ThinkQuest networks and forwarding Emails. Fortunately, there were 1,001 replying from almost 30 countries
