# Effects and the Problems
Effects your students have gained
It is really a good chance to know overseas schools andcountries. By way of showing on forum, I can see manykinds of cultures and customs to demonstrate oncanvas.

Points for further improvement
Can we post some news or our painting on Facebook?
My friends who are interested in the project will get
more understanding about this project.
I had a lit bit problem to use the forum in the beginning.
But after guiding, I can handle it well. Thanks.
