What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your CyberFair project?

 

Computer and mobile devises: We used desk-top and lap-top computers, mobile phones, and tablets to get access to the internet and share information with each other online.

Discussion group on Facebook: We established an online private discussion group “102 Web Blog” on FB, where we uploaded data, photos, personal reports, and research journals. We also shared our ideas and comments on each other’ tasks online on daily bases. Our teachers also gave us immediate response through the “102 Web Blog” on FB.

Google Cloud drive: We used Google Cloud drive to store and share all data everyone had collected and produced so that everyone was able to access data and to complete their assigned tasks at home.

Cameras and digital recorders: When we took on-site visits at “Yun-Hsiao Ancient Pathway”, Jiuhua Mt. Ksitigarbha Temple, Hinoki Village, and Beimen (north gate) train station, we used cameras and mobile phones to take photos and videos. We also used digital recorders to record each interview sessions done with local informants.

Google Questionnaire function: We designed a questionnaire to invite visitors to comments on those historical sites that we investigated. Teachers also helped us create an online questionnaire by using Google Questionnaire function so that we could deliver the questionnaire to the public through email and Facebook.

Types of Computer software: We learned to use several types of computer software to complete our project, such as Powerpoint to present our ideas and drafts, Photoimpact and Photoshop to edit pictures, Publisher and Dreamweaver to construct Web pages.
