What information tools and technologies did you use to complete your Cyberfair project? 

The most valuable tools
  The most valuable information platform for us is the “moodle digital platform" and "group learning network.”  Using these network platforms in school, we can upload our work and interview information.  We can also discuss our own thoughts in this place and share all kinds of information.  With digital learning platforms, even if occasionally we could not attend classroom discussions, we can keep up with everyone's progress.

In what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Cyberfair project both on-line and in person.

 During this research project, we used the following research methods:

1. Literary contribution exploration method

Regarding research, we read related books and searched for relevant literature online. 

(2) Interview of outstanding women

1. We collected background information, relevant documents, media reports, etc., and finally analyzed and organize all the collected data. Through open-ended questions we conducted face to face communication with interview subjects to understand their life experience, the meaning and value give to events, view problems through the perspective of the interview subject, and express through the interview subject’s expressions.

2. Using continuous correspondence and telephone contact to set an interview time, we successfully interviewed three outstanding women face to face, sports personality Chi Cheng, ecological experts Lucia Liu Severinghaus, as well as literary master Wen,-ya Kuei.

  

The Cyberfair project not only gave me the opportunity to meet with a number of well-known outstanding women, but also let me understand that to become a great woman is not easy and comes with more pressure and hard work.  I believe after this experience, everyone has grown a lot, and it is a really meaningful activity.

What has been or will be the impact of your project on your community?

From formulating the topic, to work allocation discussion, to collect information, and writing reports, we completed each mission to the best of our ability.  There were inevitably some difficulties and bottlenecks during the process, but good thing we have the assistance of classmates and teacher, so each person can continue to complete their own part. In the course of the research project, each person’s writing strength also increased little by little.  Not only did we developed better data collecting,  compile reports and writing skills, we also learned interview skills and experience a lot of interesting things, letting everyone learn more about outstanding women.  We got a lot out of this.

I felt that participating in Cyberfair project is very interesting, though very hard.  But we can challenge new things every time and feel very curious.  We learned many things and we can’t learn from books and experience things that most people cannot experience. We felt really lucky we were able to learn so many interesting things and fun knowledge.  Participating in Cyberfair project was really great!  It served so many purposes!  Just as Lucia Liu Severinghaus said, as long as you are interested in, or like it, even if is very hard or very difficult, you still will not give up. With this research project we make it easier for more people to understand: The reasons and successful experiences of outstanding women today who broke gender limitation in different fields, and that each person can understand from it they can break the gender limitation through career planning.
