2. Summary of Our Project

Chengdu is the cradleland of Daoist. This place has a long history of Daoist culture and is an influential place inside and outside of China. Especially the Qingcheng Mountain in Chengdu, as the origin place of Daoist and World Cultural Heritage, is an important resource to establish Chengdu as a nationwide tourist brand of Daoist culture. In the meanwhile, the students practiced their information processing ability on the internet, which laid the foundation for their future.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome

When interviewing local people, we needed to use standard Mandarin and IT skills. By actually carrying out our research plans, the team members kept discussing and revising the content, which taught us the importance of study together. And also, we had the opportunity to use internet to apply our knowledge in real life. On one hand, we could exchange information faster; on the other hand, we could solve problems more effectively.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

In the process, we deeply realized the importance of teamwork. You need to mind your manners and attitudes when you give suggestions to others; otherwise nobody wants to listen to you! Whenever we met difficulties or were chided by teachers, we learned not to be frustrated but to make more efforts. In this activity, we felt the milk of human kindness and learned lots of precious experiences from teachers and students.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?

The formation of the website is based on materials from internet and books and interviews with related people. We analyzed them, digested them, and rewrote in our own languages. The pictures in the website were taken by ourselves. By participating in this research, I learned a lot of knowledge beyond the school curriculum.

Chengdu is the cradleland of Daoist. This place has a long history of Daoist culture and is an influential place inside and outside of China. Especially the Qingcheng Mountain in Chengdu, as the origin place of Daoist and World Cultural Heritage, is an important resource to establish Chengdu as a nationwide tourist brand of Daoist culture.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?

Ever since we started the competition preparation, our school life became even busier. We had group meetings or things needed to be done every noon. Sometimes we needed to use our weekends. Sometimes we felt busy and tired and time seemed never to be enough!

4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

After our team leader communicated with the teachers in our school’s television station, they supported us by providing hardware. When we interviewed history teacher Tang, he showed his enthusiasm and said our chosen topic was good because it addressed our spirits of exploration and practice. He wanted us to cherish this opportunity.
