Project Elements of Special Topic Research
The help for the students who join “Cyber Fair” project
Participating “Cyber Fair”, every student worked so hard in studying the topic and interviews. Therefore, we got a chance to realize the people and conditions more deeply. We have learned hoe to plan and work with others, how to make use of our time, how to make better webpage, how to communicate, edit and take pictures.
By studying“Cih-Sheng”, we knew disadvantaged groups and realized the meaning of lives. We learned to respect lives and had more active, positive attitude. We hope more people give out their love and help whoever needs them after seeing these charities'hardworking and persistence.
Special topic research matches the spirit of“Cyber Fair”Being involved in this research taught us the importance of team work which combine the education , local community groups and internet. Let more people in the world care and pay attention to disadvantaged groups. All the gain and experiences exactly match the purpose and spirit of “Internet Expo”.
Special topic research matches the spirit of ”12-year compulsory education”According to what Ministry of Education said, taking tests is not the main purpose of twelve state religion. It is about whether students can learn actively or not. Teachers should guide students to make use of different kinds of learning resource instead of teaching. Parents should also encourage children to participate all kinds of activities and discover their own potential. After that, children can prepare for the future according to their interests, personalities and abilities. By doing these researches, we got in touch with different kinds of people in society and got experiences and knowledge from outside of school. Then, we widen our vision of learning.
What technology productsdDid we use to finish the research?
1.Camera---- It helped us record the process of interview and every meeting.
2.Computers---It helped us arrange information, process photographs, set up our website.（Photocap、PhotoImpact、Microsoft Office Word 2003）
3.Recording Pen---It helped us arrange our interviews.
What influences and impacts did this research do on us?1.Influences---We seldom get in touch with disadvantaged groups before, but now we change our life philosophy and cherished what we have today after participating volunteer activities. Moreover, we help people in need more actively. It’s really an important experience for us.。
2.Impacts---Disadvantaged groups are not being cared by people nowadays, so we wish more people will know their social responsibilities and learn that “helping brings happiness” after seeing “Cyber Fair”. Everyone, including students can make a better world which is not with fighting and abusing but with love and peace.
3.Discovering---In “Cih-Sheng Charity”, There are accessible spaces everywhere for the convenience of their kids. It’s really thoughtful. Every kid there greets one another enthusiastically whomever he or she meets. It’s really different from most people in society, lots of them are realistic and cool.
4.Lessons---Lots of people are healthy and not short of food or clothes, but don’t cherish what they have. They waste their time and money, but not care about inner goodness but too much appearance. On the contrary, kids in “Cih-Sheng Charity” have to take care of themselves in everywhere or rely on government’s helping. They are thankful for every little helping. Thus, we should reflect ourselves and use our abilities and resources on the right places.
Respect intellectual property rights：Part of the references were from the internet, we have written down where the information came from and their websites for respecting intellectual property rights. But we did most of the work by ourselves, including interviews, experiences and a thousand of photographs. Only few of picture were from “Tzu Sheng Charity”. After getting teacher Mei Ya Huang, teacher Yu Hsin Chen and “Cih-Sheng Charity”’s authority, we finished this research and showed it in public.
