Catogories: Environmental Awareness

Introduction of the Location:
Geographically speaking, we live in the agricultural areas, but farming has been disappearing in the recent years.  Very few of the farmers stick to their jobs and insist on organic agriculture and traditional planting.  This becomes the specialty of Ganyuan area.

Research Project Summary:                                                                  
We include the ways how to plant, information of organic agriculture and individual experience of planting.  We talk with farmers and walk around in Ganyuan area.

Internet environment:
 We have about 30 computers here in the school and apply academic network T1 lines to collect information.  We also use the free time to query data at home.

Experience Proverbs:
We learn a lot from this project.  We know how hard to grow things without using pesticides.  The farmers perseverance and determination touches us.  We find that the farmers are brave to face challenge and keen to find out the answers.  This impress us.

How did your activities and research for this International Schools CyberFair project support content standards, required coursework and curriculum requirements?
1. to promote organic food: To show that we love land, we promote growing without pesticides.
2. changes in agriculture: Organic food was popular before, but farmers use chemical fertilizers in order to increase agricultural productivity. We now realize that this do harm on our health and are willing to embrace organic food again. However, organic food takes time and money; this explains why most farmers grow with chemical agricultural products.
3 questionnaire interviews:
(1) on the questionnaire, students in Ganyuan do a survey to understand the ecology of the Citrus Park, the questionnaire led to environmental pollution incident, and found that the factory emissions and sewage, causing pollution of the environment we live become more and more serious, the same time we also 'the concept of organic agriculture, to convey to each person to know, let us care for the community of Citrus Park, more love Earth.
(2) on the interviews, in addition to inviting our principals, directors, Chairman Lin Chung pool and local farming residents Miss Wang Huan visitors and places to visit in this topic, not only let the Citrus Park area people to understand that we live in ecological gradually changing, but also to the whole school to know the importance of organic agriculture, as long as the efforts on sustainable development of organic agriculture.

Our teamwork spirit?
Beginning the discussion page framework, we found that this is a big project. We spent a lot of time to negotiate with each other. We believe if we work together, we will finish this job and success.

We use those the Cyberfair Information Technology research program it?

We learn what skills?
(1) Web design: We learned Namo before, so we are familiar with Dreawmweaver.  Meanwhile, we are better to organize information and show it on the web.
(2) retouching techniques: we often take pictures outdoors, and frequently use Potoimpact to make sure the photos are in good quality.
(3) editing skills: we use software to edit videos.  We once compress a video more than three times and maintain its quality at the same time.
(4) interview skills: Before the interview, we designed the questions.  This can make sure we ask the right questions.  One of the group members has a farm on his own, and the background helps us catch the main points during the interview.

In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Cyberfair project both on-line and in person.
We are so excited to experience organic agriculture for the first time. We learned a lot of knowledge about organic agriculture through this experience. And finally the interview was completed successfully, and we have uploaded the interviews and reflections on the website. We want to share the story about a successful person.

Research project to us what kind of influence and impact?
