Problems We Had to Overcome:
We want to express our sincere thanks to the consultant of Grown up Center of Taiwan and TTT staff. With their help, we try to make web pages for the first time. This is the first time we participate in the CyberFair. The teacher and the team members lack previous experience in webpage construction. We have to consult others whenever difficulties arise. The team members come from different grades and classes. We have little commonly free time apart from the time for group activities. Therefore, we make use of our spare time for group discussion with the teachers. It costs much time in typing material into computer. The false operation nearly looses all the material. The misunderstanding causes conflicts between students and parents.Though it is difficult, we overcome all kinds of hardships and difficulties during the process. We are proud of ourselves and the experience is unforgettable.
information tools and technologies:
(1) Hardware facilities: computer, digital camera, recorder, scanner,mp3.
(2) Computer software: Dreamweaver for webpage editing, Photoshop for graphic processing, Microsoft Word for textual information editing, Outlook Express for receiving and sending mails, Internet Explorer for browsing website, ACDSee for image browsing, CuteFTP for transmitting information, UC chatting tools on Sina.
(3) Internet: E-mail, message board, FTP server,broad system.
Our sound bite: No pains, no gains. As long as we try our best, we would never feel ashamed. Be charitable to others and our environment. Our future will be more wonderful.
students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for our International Schools CyberFair project:
We consider it our responsibility to make
the public knowing Qinghai Lake, thus we
should play the role of "community
ambassadors" and reveal this history
to others. It's the largest salt-water lake
in China and a well-known resort and natural
reserve. As local people, we should do something
to protect its environment. We have tried
to tell others what we know and introduced
the lake to school mates and villagers.
We realize our research result in the form
of signboards, as well as a homepage hosted
by the school website. Apart from being
a resource for countryside education, the
homepage also allows citizens to deepen
their understanding of the local natural
environment through the Internet. The website
we make is believed to make more people
know Qinghai Lake.
the impact of our
project on our community:
Through this research project, we have come
to know more about the Qinghai Lake. We
are fully confident that our work, when
finished, would be the most exhaustive online
resource about it at the moment. In our
research, we gain much help from others.
Our parents search information about our
visiting routes; the monks who live around
Qinghai Lake introduce their experience
about how to protect the lake to us; the
staff in local tourist department kindly
cooperate with our interview. We share our
knowledge to our schoolmates and propose
to organize an activity of "Protecting
Qinghai Lake" in vacation.
In the whole process, we have felt the public's
concern about the future development of
local natural environment. The protection
of natural environment has become the most
concerned issue in the past decade. We hope
that our project would not only deepen the
public's knowledge o, but also arouse their
recognition and passion for protecting environment.
We all have a kind of passion and confidence
unique to ourselves. Through this project,
we have established good interaction with
the community. Our actions are full of passion,
and we behave with full confidence.
Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises:
We have got a better knowledge of Qinghai
Lake's history and stories. It's famous
for a special kind of scaless fish and millions
of migrant birds. It's a well-known resort
and natural reserve. Human beings gained
so much from this lake in the past, nowadays
we need to protect its natural environment,
otherwise our living environment will be
destroyed.
our activities and research support content standards, required coursework and curriculum requirements:
The activity involves literature, history,
geography, computer, art ,biography, chemistry
and culture. We have learned many things
that are not in the text books. We break
out of the classroom, and learn from the
real-life environment and experiences and
from various experts in history and culture.
Through this research project, we have learnt
how to search for information, how to conduct
an interview, how to organize information.
The interview and research not only boardens
our knowledge scale, but also enriches our
experience.These abilities will become our
life-long assets.
Explanation of intellectual
property rights:
All the web pages are editted by ourselves.
In our research, we pick out some word material
and pictures from "Historical records
of Gangcha" and "Guidebook draft"
; use video about breeding scaless fish
from local fishery bureau; and most material
is writen by ourselves after our research
and interview. We want to show our sincere
thanks to everyone offering help to us.
