Instructors
We accompanied the students to complete all the way since Cyberfair. From the initial data collection to visit Tsai Meng-Shin, we saw these students gain a lot, even they were against all odds to go with Teacher Tsai for a nature photographical experience. In the process, we found that students have grown in all aspects, whether the data integration capabilities, logical architecture, courage and so on. For example, they didn’t know what verbatim was to compile an article; from ambiguous to express their views confidently, even to explore more about the knowledge of ecological photography, so as instructors, we feel all the hard works were worth.
As the other students were chatting in Facebook, our team was using it to discuss Cyberfair project. As other students were taking a nap, and our team was experiencing another chapter of life. Perhaps, not all members will be eco-photographers, but it is certain that Tsai Meng-Shin brought them boldness and courage which will make their life more colorful.

Our morale exhausted from upsurge, ups and downs like waves. But when I looked back to what I have done, experienced, learned, surprisingly, I made some progress that let me swagger, move forward and be in perseverance. This competition not only allows us to earn readers’ recognition and to write interesting articles, to collect and concentrate information and so on. These various challenges made me have a great lesson from the setback and the important spirit of solidarity. I smile knowingly.
The effect of participating this project was imperceptibly. Prior to this, I attended other research projects requiring self-work that was no allotment or distribution. During the process, I found the importance of corporation and I was too overconfident and subjective to corporate with others. After this competition, I had a concept of distribution and recognition of value of allotment. If this is a necessary process of maturity, I would say this process is bittersweet that help me sophisticate in article and thematic writing as well as my interpretation towards the character's traits.
This project is a series of hardships and challenges. As we started from nothing to now we have, I learned a lot including collecting information, analyzing and overviewing the content and the focus streamline. More importantly, it’s to have a perseverance heart. The establishment of this website was discussed by our team members. Sometimes, when questions and answers were in contradiction, we did not only corporate with everyone's ideas but also our instructors’. Hence, we were always able to find answers quickly. I believe we all learn the importance of corporation.
When I first decided to join this project, I told myself to have a "try", thus, I sloppily agreed to participate in this project. Before involving into this competition, the instructor Chiang Yalin spoke with us and wanted everyone to think clear and understand that this is a multi-complex task requiring time, patience, effort, team spirit, and even have to interview at non-classroom time, gather information etc. in order to complete everything in time and to be perfected. I questioned myself, "I always gave up halfway but can I complete this task?" After struggling, I chose to participate fully.
At beginning, we only surfed the internet, collected and sorted information, I became impatient with such boring matters until the first interview with Tsai Meng-Shin. I listened to his stories one to another, unwittingly, it’s dark. I felt wonderful that I can sit for hours just to listen to a man telling stories. I used to hate walking, not even mention to climb mountains, but because of this competition, I have to go hiking, just then, an interesting finding that going hiking was so much fun and full with surprises. I was kind of enjoying. After Tsai’s interview, it followed another tiny work. I was with a different attitude. Till then, I began with an enthusiasm that I would like to devote myself more for this competition and this team that we strive for the same goal.

In a chance of encountering, I joined this blog team. The whole process was hard to describe, but we overcame it. Whether the process of collating information, content of interview, teamwork and so forth are the skills we learned. Personally speaking, I believe that teamwork is the most important matter that I learned from this project because I think one person is unable to accomplish this task. However, not only our team members but also three professional instructors are the best. I believe we achieve the best.
Initially, the teachers called us to participate this blog project that I did not know what it was. While I heard people who participated with this project didn’t have to do research, I was in immediately. However, I found it not make any easier. At the first meeting, one of our instructors said we had to sacrifice lunch break, and holidays to discuss and visit the interviewee, and from now on, this blog project ought to be in our primary work list. After this talk, I began to worry whether I was able to accomplish it. As I look around my partners began to prepare without any hesitation. So did I.
I was responsible for logs recording. The instructor told me that I needed to post our daily discussion onto the web, and remembered to take appealing illustrations. I think words go with photos to attract people to achieve better results; therefore, I not only post the log on the web but also sort and post the picture onto it. Although, it’s inconvenience, surely there must be a great accomplishment after we finished the website. Away from the deadline of this competition getting closer and closer, we were not at easy. As all the information quickly sorted out, I started to do the final check. Teamwork is what I am felling the most intimate part during this project.

Many students signed up for this project, but when they heard it’s a time-consuming work, they were unintentionally. Nine of us just like Straw Hat Pirates, One Piece were serious facing all the difficulties together. Between exams and the mission, a seesaw battle was pulling to each other. I am also a library volunteer, in recession, I must go to the library to help; meanwhile, I also needed to discuss the project with my members. I was completely occupied in order to strike a balance between is a mental and intellectual test!
I was very happy to participate this project which I learned a lot from. During the process, I had a lesson how to organize information, schedule, the team distribution. Despite of the time limitation, we can still complete the mission. None of coincidence is able to create a monster but the three dedicated instructors who gave us assists. I think my team is perfect, precise, harmony as well as our website. This website let me learn a lot and joyful. I hope this team can continue.
Because of this project, I learned a lot. No matter collating information, structure or process analysis or even our discussion let me feel so immensely. After the allocation of work, we strived to achieve our own task that I felt the importance of teamwork.
