ElementsQ1.) How does your research project meet the goals and objectives of "Taiwan Schools Cyberfair"?
Our school has launched video production course for several years. As we were a freshman at school, we envied as some seniors filming their own movi. We also knew “Taiwan Schools Cyberfair” is a part of School Actualization Program which our school, Erlin High School, was in part of this program for some time. Moreover, this blog project is not only for the program but also a great benefit for students digging into a deeper layer of photography. When we interview Tsai Meng-Shin, he is conscientious to guide us some basic concepts of photography, for instance, adjusting angles, screen, etc. These are basic but important skills in photography, and he led us to follow his student on field. This experience was very precious that take us going a better level of photography so as to a better development in photography. Q2.) What kind of technology did your team use to accomplish your research project?
In the process of this project, our instructors and other teachers has assisted us a lot as well as consultations, no matter, technical problems, technological equipment and time allocation for all of team members etc., so that nine members from different classes, were able to break the limitation of time and space having regular meetings. Whether at home or on holiday, our team members could contact and discuss with each other. In addition, we ran all over the central Taiwan during the project, those school electronic devices helped us in all ways to accomplish this project. We recorded many important images and conversation which we collect our primary information. Q3. What kind of approach to play the role of "ambassador" did you use via the internet, in person, or through the team?
First of all, we surfed the Internet to collate information, and then the group discussions that discussed what is needed, what cannot be found and what issues had been raised as surfing the Internet. Next, we went to visit Tsai Mengsing seeking for answers. The following day as we visited him, he warmly invite us to go on trip with his students that we learned ecological photography skills. By doing this, we were able to observe him closely, and to have chances to encounter with his love ones like his wife, children and his students. In these two days, we solved most of the inquiries, and one of our instructors, Wang Wenshung helped transmit messages, take pictures back to us finishing for this project. Q4.) What kind of impact and influence did this project affect you?
Because of this project, we are more aware of environment protection and improving photography skills. We were shame that we didn’t know such a powerful figure, Tsai Meng-Shin from Changhua. The one-time windfall that because of the influence of Tsai, we improved the techniques of photography and knowledge of ecology; furthermore, it reflected on the importance of balance ecology system as well. We hope this website affect people to think and understand the importance of environment protection. Not only Tsai Meng-Shin but also all of us should concern our ecological environment. Q5.) Please indicate the respect of intellectual property rights and references.
We found very little relevant information about Mr. Tsai from Yuanlin Community Collage Newsletter. Therefore, the most of useful information was from his interview. We found it wasn’t easy as we needed to take a lot of effort in order to compile a full page of information. Consequently, while we benefited from someone’s work, we ought to respect the intellectual property rights of others and indicate the source and reference. That is another windfall of the blog project we have learned from. Q5.) Discovery, Lessons and Amaze
In our series of studies, the most fruitful acquisition is a better understanding of photography. Insight of photography, the principles of photography cannot be separated with "isosceles" which makes perfect image and clarity. Consistency and united are two indispensable qualities that explain our greatest lessons from this experience: 1.) How to simplify and condense an essay. 2.) The importance of teamwork. These are integral roles in the future. Most of members from this blog team are profound to engage in this area. From the process, we learn how to enrich ourselves and make ourselves more solid with knowledge. Not seeking for fame and share everything we know is our most impression onto Tsai Meng-Shin, perhaps this is what we need to absorb the most. |
