1. Description of Our Team

Our team is made up of four tenth grade students. Angela L (16), Susan L (15), Yvonne W (16), and Crystal N (15). We have never participated in this kind of competition as well as creating a webpage; therefore, we want to have a try this time and hope to learn something valuable during this project. Angela is responsible for collecting the information and designing the website; Susan is responsible for searching the pictures and building the webpage. Yvonne is responsible for organizing the data we collected and Crystal is responsible for writing the narrative and offering advices. Mr. Rick Jiang is our guide teacher and he helps us a lot during this project. Although we have met some problems during the time, we’re sure that we can finished it and show it in an ideal way.

2. Summary of Our Project

Welcome to our website of the “Ice Age”! In this website, you can get the information about “Past Ice Age”, “Future Ice Age”, and the current statement. “Past Ice Age” will show you what periods of ice age had happened before and the environments about the ice ages. “Future Ice Age” will show you if it is possible to have ice age in the after-human-life and if it is possible, what’s the causes and when will it happened? Also, you can search the pictures about “glaciers”. There are many kinds of glaciers, such as alpine glaciers and tidewater glaciers. We purposely make the website emerge in a cuter mode in order to show the knowledge object in a more interesting way, so that people won’t be too bored about these informations.

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

Using the internet to learn allow us to be in control of what we want to learn. In doing so, we found that we had learned about things that teacher would not teach us in a traditional class, like personal opinions that are out there on the internet that has not been accepted by the scientific community.

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

we had 4 computer, access to cellular phone, digital still cameras, scanners, wix online page creator, text books and other library books and magazines we found.

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

If all goes well, we have have our web project available in our annual international class science fair to be seen by all visitors, students teachers, parents and administrators for at least a month.

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

The Taiwanese electric company is selling electricity at a below profit level due to many bad political policies and corruption. Consequentially, people on the island is using electricity at a rate beyond necessity. We hope our project will shed some light on energy conservation which hopefully will lead to the slowing down of global warming as well.

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

We had help from the teachers at Pu Tai. We also had help from some of our parents, and relatives who are close to the environment. Friends of the families are always people who we reach to using phones and other online chat format when we are in school to get help.
