How did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Cyberfair project both on-line and in person?
To collect information regarding Mr. Lin from different sources, we designed 14 questionnaires and issued these questionnaires to 145 respondents in the Cyberfair project.
We drafted the interview questions in advance. Each team member designed the questions on a subset of the topics. We reviewed and modified each other’s questions before we presented them to our teachers. Once the questions were confirmed, we rehearsed the interview process. Our teachers provided feedback on our interview skills. As a result, we became better at interviewing others and interviewees were very impressed with the depth of our questions. We developed confidence in ourselves in this process.
We felt embarrassed and upset when people declined to take our survey. However, we were not defeated by frustration. We confronted our fear, improved our skills and started again. Community residents gradually acknowledged our efforts and began to support our Cyberfair project. A few months later, questionnaire surveys became a piece of cake for us.
We were involved in all the activities in Chungchuan Neighborhood. For example, we joined the volunteer team to clean up the community environment. We visited senior citizens with other volunteer workers. We participated in the curriculum of Chungchuan Learning Center and learned with grandmas, grandpas and children. We felt the dedication from Mr. Lin and the solidarity among residents. This was a valuable experience not available from textbooks.
