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

One of the axes of the GuangXing Elementary School's school-based curriculum is the history and geography axis, which mainly focuses on understanding the history of the hometown. The topic of the Tshia-Kóo-Lang art performance that we are doing is also in line with the nine-year consistent ability indicator 'Social 2-2-2-2', the historic sites or archeological excavations in residential towns (counties, cities and towns), and appreciate the beauty of local folklore. So when we conducted a special research on the car and drum array, we started with field surveys, visited elderly people in the community, listened to their previous stories, compiled the field data, and got some teachers who were interested in traditional opera culture. Assistance, some students have personally invested in learning how to jump and drum, and some students have made this experience into a picture book for promotion. We have found that some skills must be personally invested in making them go back to a long time. Which not only plays the role of explorer, but also learners and inheritors, hoping that ancient skills will not be broken in our hands.

1. Make good use of the technology platform for online data collection. 2. Record the field tuning process through the tablet. 3. Use the computer to collect the whole field video and audio files. 4. Use technology aids and image editing software to encode and integrate audiovisual data. 5. The audio-visual data and recording files are converted into text files.

2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

With the change of the social environment, Che Guzhen has disappeared. How to revive and inherit traditional skills in the contemporary era is a very important core goal of our plan. We started with field surveys and started to visit the elderly in the community, listen to them tell previous stories, and sort out the field information, and slowly piece together the historical puzzles of the community. In order to revive the car drum array culture, we need the cooperation of more professionals, so we will use the collected information to promote it in different forms, such as: setting up web pages, making picture books, Facebook publicity, and even going to temples Performances, and also participated in national sports folk custom competitions. These channels made many people start to pay attention to the car drum array. Gradually, some groups and teachers interested in traditional opera culture began to contact us one after another, hoping to exchange more Interesting spark. The people in the community are also very moved by the reproduction of Cheguzhen culture, especially the culture of their hometown can be shown on television to let the people across the country know that this is really something that makes them proud.

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

In the process of investigating the community, we began to have contact with the elderly people in the community. We rarely talk to them. Through this plan, we can have a good understanding of the history of our hometown, and also have a good life with the community. More interaction. And in this era of online information, we will also apply the information skills we learned in schools to this cultural collection and promotion plan. Not only can we efficiently organize oral data, but we can also put the data online. On the platform, it is translated into more metaforms and shared with people all over the world. It is a very meaningful thing to be able to feed back the knowledge and tools I have learned to the culture promotion in my hometown. The most important thing is to see the once-fading Cheguzhen culture return to the life of the community again. Having a sense of accomplishment is a great encouragement for us.

5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)

Through personal experience and practical investigations, I deeply appreciate the charm of the local car and drum culture. In the process, I encountered many people and things. We not only heard the local elders dictate and share the early local stories, and produced a feature film documentary for this record. In addition, I also know many artists who have silently contributed to the traditional art circle, participated in experiencing the local car and drum culture, and were deeply infected by the community director's enthusiasm for inheriting the local culture, which inspired us to want to guard together and find the local together. Cultural determination. Through research and in-depth study of the car-drum culture, we cherish this opportunity. In addition to learning from each other, we can actively ask when encountering different problems, and we can strengthen our ability through teamwork. This is also the result of our in-depth practice of field investigation. !! Car drum array really brought us a very different experience and progress!
