  Chuloshan, the ancient name of Chia-yi, was indicating 'Mountains surround in the East.' With many beautiful landscapes and good people, Chia-yi is situated on the Northern Chianan Plain, close to the tropic of Cancer 23.5*N. The Alishan Forest Railway, Gao Shan Tea and Taiwan Koji Pottery are specialties.

Summary of Our Project

  There is an old and mysterious place in Chai-yi City, which is surrounded by high walls. The residents have never been familiar with this place. Their indifference seems to have hidden the fact that it exists. The reason why this deserted place still exits in the city is that some people devote their time and efforts to maintaining this place. However, few people know this. It's also surprising that a city short of beauty and prosperity like Chia-yi still keeps such a historic building- The Old Chia-yi Prison to the Pennsylvania system, which was built under the Japanese Rule. Therefore, we would like to climb over the walls of time and remove its mysterious veil.

  During the research, we truly understood how the Old Chiayi Prison built and it's history. They showed us their determination and devotion. They are indeed a great example of the administrator. Participating in the International CyberFair, our techniques in the field of computer have been polished. Moreover, after we experienced the hardship on the construction site with the Old Chiayi Prison, we learned a more constructive attitude toward life at the same time. What we got from the research will make our future brighter.

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

  To do the research, we integrated the knowledge we learned from various subjects at school. For instance, the questionnaire required the writing skill learned in Chinese class, the concept of numbers learned in math class and the Excel statistics graph analysis learned in computer class. In addition, it took communicative techniques, team work and time management to accomplish our work. We learned to do the research on our own. We made a lot of progress in many aspects.

  The vision of the technology education in Taiwan is "Accessible information, motivated study, cooperative creation, lifelong learning." During the research, we deeply felt the convenience and benefits brought by the computer technology. We depended a lot on computers during the process of information collection and integration, the communication among the members, and the presentation of our work. The Internet is a more convenient way to obtain the information than books. It provides a fast instant platform to exchange information. The project homepage can show our work to the world. It is very efficient to do research through the Internet.
