How to overcome?
|
| Lack
of experience |
1Team members have stress because of participating
in the Cyber Fair for the first time.
2 we don't have experience in interviewing our headmaster.
|
1 Ms. Yang analyzes the last prize winter's website
and encourages each team member to do his or her best
.
2 our activity gets support from many people. Our headmaster
cooperates with our second interview. With accumulation
of experience, we are more skillful in the following
interviews.
|
| Not
skillful in computer skills and web pages making |
As
students in Grade Eight, we don't have much computer skills
in information search |
1 Ms.
Yang gives students quick training in searching information
by google, making web pages by DM, downloading picture,
sending and receiving emails.
2 The staff in TTT guide us to solve problems in web page
making by MSN. |
| Busy
schedule |
Every
week, we have two activities about our project. Because
of lack of experience, we feel the schedule quite busy.
There is some conflict between our study and participating
in Cyber Fair. |
1 we communicate with instructor in Tianjin by MSN
once a week.
2 Ms. Yang rearrange our spare time to make website.
|
Lack
of tools
|
1We
don't digital camera.
2Team members have no vehicles when interviewing outside. |
1 Borrow digital camera from others.
2 Borrow bikes from other students or two people ride
one bicycle.

6. Our project sound bite |
|
| |
In our research, we realize the
importance of environmental protection. In the past, we felt
that the environmental problems, like air pollution, water pollution
and noise pollution, were far away from us. However, according
to our research in 16 nearby villages, we find out that the
only river left turns to be pollutant and other rivers have
dried up. In the river, there is no hop toad, not mentioned
other animals. The over exploring of underground water and pollution
have threaten people's daily life. For example, in Wugezhuang
Village, villagers have to drink water from other villages.
From now on, we should do something to protect water resource
and our environment. We believe that as long as we endeavor,
our hometown will become more beautiful. |

Project elements: |
 |
|
|
1. Goal and purpose:
|
| |
in our research of natural environment protection,
we do interview, experiment and analysis, in which we
put knowledge on textbook into practice. What's more,
our propaganda of protecting water resource is realized
by our community and people's concept of protecting
environment is improved.
|
|
2. Information tools and technologies
|
| |
Computer software:
●Dreamweaver 4.0 for webpage editing
●Fireworks 4.0 for graphic processing
●ACDSee 6.0 for graphic processing
●Office 2000 for textual information editing,
|
Hardware facilities:
●PC
●Digital camera
●Scanner.

3. In what ways did your
students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons
for your International Schools CyberFair project both
on-line and in person? |
| |
The headmaster-Mr. Huangjie is our first interviewee,
who receives the interview plan from our instructor-Mr.
Yang Bingguo. Although Mr. Huang is very busy, he cooperates
with our work for two times. In the following research,
we get to learn the history and present situation of
Maoniu River. The local villager-Mr. Yang Guanglai tells
us more stories about it. This becomes our precious
interview records. When we go back school, we hold a
series of activity to let more students know the importance
of water resource protection.
|
|
4. What has been or will
be the impact of your project on your community? |
| |
Because of our hard work, we arouse public recognition
and passion for water resource protection. To our surprise,
the leaders in Sishang Village launch an activity about
using washing powder to exchange waste plastic bags,
which greatly improves local natural environment. In
our interview, we get to know that their activity is
used to foster villagers' conception of protecting environment.
Our research draws public attention. Our "Protecting
water resource activity" was reported on Beijing
Water Newspaper. The water administration sends silk
banner and letter of acknowledgement to our school.
Tianjin Ou'ge Bicycle Factory donated 20 advanced bicycles
to "Water Protection Team" in Beishicao Middle
School. Through this project, we have established good
interaction with the community. Our actions are full
of passion, and we behave with full confidence.
|
|
5. The explanation of intellectual
property rights |
| |
More than 90% of the word material comes from our interview
or edition and others are cited from websites, such as
"Regulations on Jingmi Channel". As for each
citation, we offer its web page link in bibliography.
Most pictures are taken by students and others by the
instructor-Mr. Yang Bingguo. |
|
6. Discoveries, Lessons
and Surprises |
| |
At the beginning, we don't
have confidence in finishing this task, as we have neither
digital camera nor experience of participating in such
an international competition. With the development of
our research, we learn to make web pages and possess pictures.
Its' our first time to organize an interview; however,
we learn much knowledge beyond textbooks. In participating
in Cyber Fair, we broaden our knowledge scale and deepen
our thought. In the future, the natural environmental
protection will be a hot issue. In our research, we realize
the importance of environmental protection. In the past,
we felt that the environmental problems, like air pollution,
water pollution and noise pollution, were far away from
us. However, according to our research in nearby villages,
we find out that the only river left turns to be pollutant
and other rivers have dried up. Thus, we organize activities
to foster local people's conception of protecting water
resource. Our parents, schoolmates and people in community
voluntarily join in our activities. At the same time,
the research has enhanced our teamwork spirit and improved
our communicating and interpersonal abilities. We have
also gained the valuable experiences of interacting with
others; this ability will be a long-life benefit for us.
