* These three meetings enabled us to
understand the theme and direction of Cyberfair project. The members participating
in the project were divided into different groups. In addition, we determined
the questions to be asked to the curator in the 1st visit. We
developed more ideas after group discussion.

Students’ feedback:
*We visited Lujhou City The Forbidden
City Museum, and we also invited Mr. Wang to give an introduction to the
museum. In the beginning, Mr. Wang told us the history of Lujhou. After his
introduction, we entered the entrance and what we first saw were two statues of
gods. Mr. Wang told us that these two statues of gods are called “Wengzhong,”
which were used to worship Qin Shi Huang in the Qin Dynasty. Mr. Wang then
showed us the statue of “Maitreya” and told us that we should “learn the aggressive
spirit of Maitreya.” The next statue we saw was the statue of “Guan Gong.” This
statue was carved more than 500 years ago. Mr. Wang also showed us the most
precious antiquities in the museum. Among all the antiquities that he
introduced to us, I like three of them the best, “foot binding cloth,” “ivory
carvings,” and “jade burial suit.” I found this visit rewarding because I
understood the characteristics and importance of Lujhou City The Forbidden City
Museum. Most importantly, this visit enabled me to realize that Mr. Wang
collected antiquities for preservation of history.....Shi-han
* I acquired a lot of knowledge about
various antiquities in the visit. I was looking forward to see Mr. Wang, and it
was my pleasure to meet him. Mr. Wang is a master sculptor and the curator of
the museum. Mr. Wang introduced to us the history and denomination of Lujhou,
and we all were busy keeping notes. He also showed that the Chinese garden
style and various precious treasures inside the museum on our way. He chatted and
laughed with us. Moreover, he also showed us the magnetic field developed by
the “statue of emperor.” We did not appreciate the antiquities cursorily, but
learnt their knowledge. This visit was quite an interesting class..........Hsuan-hong

Students’ feedback:
During our 2nd visit to Lujhou City The Forbidden City Museum,
we prepared professional “core” questions for the interview. We were quite curious
and nervous when we stepped into the museum. After we entered the museum, the
curator passionately said hello to us and showed us the TV interview with him
about his thinking and ideas. After watching the TV interview, we started to
interview Mr. Wang. We asked several questions, and Mr. Wang tried his best to
answer every question in detail, enabling us to acquire new knowledge in the
visit to the museum. After this second visit, I felt that my horizon was widen.....Hsuan-hong
In the second visit to Lujhou City The Forbidden City Museum, I started
to get familiar with it. I no longer felt nervous and scared as I did in the
first visit. The layout in the museum seemed different in this visit. Moreover,
Mr. Wang seemed no longer a stranger, but a friendly grandfather to us. Mr.
Wang also showed us the video on his museum to enable us to further understand
it and ask more questions in detail. I hoped that I could share with visitors
of our website the rarest and most creative articles to convey the culture and
to propagate the museum and its value……Ya-han

Students’ feedback:
Mr. Wang’s detail introduction in the 3rd visit enabled us to
better understand the name, origin, story, and function behind the antiquities.
Although the weather on the day was quite cold, our passion for antiquities was
not changed. Our in-depth observations and interviews in this visit enabled me
to know more about antiquities, such as lotus lantern, a pair of stone lions at
the entrance, statue of Wengzhong, Fu-der temple, dismount for civil and military
officers during the reign of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, meat-shaped stone,
etc. Among these antiquities, justice cups enabled us to know the ingenuity of
the design……Hsuan-hong
This visit enabled us to thoroughly understand the historical stories
behind the antiquities. It was great that Mr. Wang personally demonstrated how
to use justice cup and explained the theory behind. I learnt a lot from this
visit. I really hoped that our research team can complete the project
flawlessly in the future……Chen-ru

Students’ feedback:
Unlike the previous three visits in
which only several teachers and ten students visited Lujhou City The Forbidden
City Museum, the entire class visited the museum in the 4th visit to
see the curator and various treasures. Even though the weather was bad and it rained
a little bit, we were still in a good mood. We happily set out to go the
museum. After walking through the market and crossing the road, we stopped in
front of “unique culture inTaiwan”
(i.e. dog feces) to listen carefully to what the curator said. The curator took
us to the museum and gave us, who participated in the Cyberfair project, a
detailed introduction about the history and stories behind various antiquities.
We all put on thick coats because the weather was quite cold. We trembled with
our fingers to keep the notes of the introduction in detail. As we kept the notes,
we also interviewed the curator. What surprised me was that the curator was
able to answer all the questions raised by all of us and gave detailed
explanations. I really admire and respect him. The curator also said, “Today is
your lucky day to read the precious ‘palm-leaf manuscript’ here.” It was true
that we acquired a lot of knowledge in this visit. We should be grateful for
our good luck and Mr. Wang......Hsuan-hong
In
this visit to Lujhou City The Forbidden City
Museum, we found some differences in the antiquities and we were more acquainted
with the curator. The main purpose of this visit was to have a better
understanding of the antiquities. Mr. Wang also knew our objective and what we
intended to understand. He answered all the questions raised by us and showed
us something special, palm-leaf manuscript. It was amazing that the letters on
the manuscript looked like ants.....Ya-han
Exhibition Feedback
2012/2/15~2/20 Campus Exhibition
Date:
2012/2/20(8th meeting)
Participants:
Yi-ying Chan, Tse-ling Chen, Yu-hsin Wu, Husan-hong Lin, Po-han Chen,
Wei-hong Chen, Hui-tse Chen, Yi-ting Yang, Ya-Han Yang, Shi-han Chang, Chen-ru
Yen, Chia-ling Chiang
Students’ feedback: I started to make
painstaking efforts and use my brain a lot since making the posters. In terms
of the printing of posters, the posters could be slowly printed out as long as the
printer was set up and adjusted well and the paper was placed at the right
position. After the posters were printed out, we started to hang them at the
hallway of RainbowBuilding. After the
posters were hung for a period of time, the students interested in antiquities
started to stand over there to appreciate them. I felt a strong sense of
accomplishment……Po-Han
Feedback to Website Design
2012/2/8~2/23 Website Design
Date:
2012/2/21(9th meeting)
Participants: Yi-ying Chan, Tse-ling Chen,
Yu-hsin Wu, Po-han Chen, Hui-tse Chen, Yi-ting Yang, Chen-ru Yen
Students’ feedback: I thought it would be
easy to design a website. It never occurred to me that it would make me feel
fatigue to design the website. We had to sacrifice our class hours to design
the website and looked at the computer screen all day long. Moreover, we were
frequently troubled by some problems. During the design of the website, we
found how incompetent we were in terms of computer skills. However, we overcame
all the difficulties one by one. I firmly believe that Cyberfair project will
become the most beautiful memory in elementary school even though it made me
feel exhausted.....Yi-ting
I thought that I only had to copy and paste
the contents on the website we designed. It never occurred to me there would be
so many problems to be solved during the design of website. We made painstaking
efforts to complete the website design. Although we all felt dizzy by watching
computer screen, we still persisted until the end. We hope that our hard
wording will be rewarding……Chen-ru
