How did your activities and research for this International Schools CyberFair project support content standards, required coursework and curriculum requirements?
In this project, we interviewed many people in the community. We knew and discovered many special characteristics about our environments. By discussing, collecting, researching, interviewing, and manufacturing homepage, we became the representative for Xiaying. We also combine the course in the seventh grade called “Community Empowerment.” We all think that we have the responsibilities promoting the characteristics for people.

In what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Cyberfair project both on-line and in person.
We are exalted to spread our local products by manufacturing homepage. By using internet, we introduce and promote the core economy in Xiaying. First of all, we tried to know the environment about the community. Second, we caused a lot of discussion and feedback by questionnaires and interview. However, we were well liked by many stores in this project. For past three months, we became the envoy for this product. We believe that the development of the property will be better. We hope that the property will show a new appearance because of our project. Otherwise, we also hope that we can push many local people to promote the special product for our community.
What has been or will be the impact of your project on your community?

For Ourselves:
In cognitive aspects: We knew more about the property.
In affective aspects: We realized that there many hard workers in each property.
In technical aspects: We are used to the skills of interview, data collection and analysis. We learned many kinds of software and how to choose fresh geese.

For Families:
In the project, teachers always informed our parents the details. And our parents always support us to participate. Otherwise, we shared our feeling with them.

For Classmates:
From the start, many classmates asked us what we did in this project. When sending questionnaires in other classes, our project caused the seniors’ curiosity. We thought that we have made the classmates noticing the property belong to Xiaying.

For Teachers:
This project can bring the school and community closer. Teachers can design the curriculum-based materials and make the teaching materials more close to our daily life. Teachers hope that students will develop self-potential and the ability of problem-solving.

For Community:

 

There are many important people doing hard for this local property silently. By our introduction, we make people knowing more about these heroes and we hope to help the promotion of the property.

 

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

In this project, we took several times to interview many people who devoted to promote the property in Xiaying. The master of the Goosery-Mr. and Mrs. Shen, the goose stores on the Provincial Highway No. 19A, the member of Xiaying Farmer’s Association-Mr. Jiang, the former assistant in Xiaying Farmer’s Association – Mr. Yan, and the master of  “Xiaying Goose Ecologic and Educational Farm” - Ms. Yu-Fang Li. We deeply appreciated their help to complete this project.

Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises

At this project, we learned some skill about technologic software. It is really good to us in the future. In the group, we knew what we can do, confirmed ourselves, and cooperated with others. We solved the problems and difficulties by cooperating. The activities made us trust each other and enhance our basic abilities. We did feel we grew up after finishing each process.

Furthermore, it is fun for us to interview and introduce to our classmates. At the beginning, we were very nervous. After practicing, we can show our opinions and the outcomes generously. When we work more hard, we found more and more beauty of Xiaying. We should make our efforts to promote the property. Not only we know how to eat tea-smoky goose, but also we should let everybody know the important specialty.
