5. Our Project Sound Bite

Participating in Internatiional School CyberFair helps us expand our international perspective and increases self-challenges. Even if the project is not flawless, at least in the process of our efforts, there are rich experiences and abundant harvests, especially in learning the spirit of teamwork.

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

The content of this project requires interdisciplinary research involving expertise from different fields. Therefore, we have enlisted the collaboration of multiple teachers. This poses a team challenge and encourages us to learn the value of teamwork. Due to certain teaching philosophies of the school that advocate for cooperative teaching methods, the development model of the project also aligns with the school's requirements.

1) What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your CyberFair project?

We borrowed 10 personal computers, personal iPhones, digital cameras, Line messaging software, PhotoImpact X, Google collaboration platform, Wikipedia, YouTube, and other tools available in the school. Among these tools, the most useful one is the Google collaboration platform, which effectively integrates all text, images, and videos, serving as the most crucial foundation for completing the project.

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

Students were responsible for contacting the art gallery, which led to interactions through phone calls and visits, providing them with valuable experiences in interpersonal communication. Due to the remote location of the Juming Museum, situated in the mountains and thus difficult to access, the staff at the museum even offered free transportation for the students, actively assisting them in completing the project.

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

Due to the establishment of the website, students who usually only focus on academics and mobile games have begun to venture outside to gather information, interact, contact, and interview local art gallery personnel. This progress has bolstered students' confidence and strengthened the relationships between the school, students, teachers, and local community members, making the entire community more vibrant.

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

Through the introduction of teachers, students contacted the Juming Museum by phone. Upon their agreement, the museum warmly arranged for a shuttle service to facilitate the students' visit to the museum for interviews. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude once again to the staff of the Juming Museum for their assistance, and we appreciate their consent for us to use some of the museum's photos and information.
