Mei-hui Chiang

     I'm Mei-hui Chiang, Age: a big secret; Interest: drawing, teaching, enjoying students' drawings.  Most cheerful thing: see the growth of each student. Most fortunate thing: encounter a group of bosom friends, exert my specialty, and to be affirmed in work.

Cyberfair is a very fashionable noun, it represents advanced technology.  Thus, I was always thinking it's a very difficult work before contacting Cyberfair, and I was a bit afraid of it. However, I took the first step finally with colleagues' stimulation and press. Now it's the second year, going to different markets for surveys and interviews, "exploring market exhibition" held in campus and "market drawings collection" last year and "shop story interview, story creation, drama performance of market story" held this year are all resulted from our efforts. Over the past two years, Mei-chung and Hsiou-yan had dedicated a lot, whereas my contribution seemed to be least, I'm sorry about it. This was an entirely different experience, though Li-shu had said "The Cyberfair of this year is so terrible, four married women are working on it to our surprise!" Some experiences must be experienced personally so that you can realize it, I believe that the work experience of these two years will be one topic at our leisure in the future. Thank you all for your help and support, it's really great to be with you.

Mei-chung Wu

Name:  Mei-chung Wu
Interest:  Collecting jokes, cracking jokes, cultivating flowers and composing essays
Most cheerful thing: Be a primary school teacher. 
Most fortunate thing: Do things I believe in. 
The thing prefers to do above all others: Sharing.

    I remember that once I was having a chat with students, a student told me that he had read a special interview in Common Wealth Magazine which was about a marine product stall-keeper carrying his shoulder pole to take the first train to Luchou to sell marine products everyday. I could not help remembering when I was studying in a primary school, once I was buying chubs for the first time, though I had no enough money, the vendor was still so kind of allowing me to take the fish home. I think the market is an ordinary place full of life stories. We just seldom have a chance to feel it point for point in the urban society.

When visiting stall-keepers in Luchou Market together with the children, we also met a marine product vendor, Mr. Lin, who was from Yilan.  He took the train at 4:05 a.m. to somewhere in Sanchung, Luchou and Hsinchuang to sell marine products everyday, and took the train at 1.15 p.m. back to Yilan.  Following his steps, I realize the struggling spirit of human for life——from going to sea for fishing at the age of 13 to changing to sell local marine products at his twenty-fives due to a shave of shipwreck.  I believe everybody has a life struggling course of his own, taking children to the market to explore different life stories and experience different growth experience, I believe this is also another kind of life perception! 

Hsiou-yan Chang

Name: Hsiou-yan Chang. 

Age:  46. 

Experience: Kaohsiung Yuanfu Junior High School,Pingtung County Tuku Elementary School,Taipei County Shijian Elementary School,Taipei County Luchiang Elementary School.

Interest: Singing, listening to songs, seeing movies, listening to jokes (for I'm unable to crack jokes), picnics (for no money for tour)
Most cheerful thingI passed the examination and became a primary school teacher. 

Most fortunate thing: I met the educational reform of "open education" and "multiple wisdom" ofTaipei County. 

Most relieved thing: I married finally. 
Most cheerful thing: Do what I want to do freely.   

Favorite fruit: Tomato, guava. Most suspense thing: My child was not high enough. 

The thing prefers to do above all others: Eating. The thing frequently do: Taste food

      I'm not good at scheduling and managing knowledge.  Participating in Cyberfair is just giving me an opportunity to learn from partners and grow together with students. Those children participated in Cyberfair project were so lucky, they went along with teachers to step in residential blocks and go deep into crowds, and learned research modes and methods from teachers especially from Ms. Wu, they learned the "taking-away ability" emphasized by Grade 1-9 Curriculum. These children were so fortunate, they had the chance to exercise getting along with strangers, to learn how to talk with somebody they didn't know; and these children had the chance to act before the whole school, to draw, to improve their computer skills and exercise composing essays. The common words of shop keepers interviewed were "be tolerant, don't offend customers", "be faithful to customers", and "provide the best service for customers, one day you will gain his money".  Successes do have reasons, these shop keepers were not running their business well at the very start, even some got deficit at the beginning, all of them set up their own "brands" gradually based on good public praise, so their shops become present old shops interviewed by us. When plants are moved outwards gradually and people engaged in resource recovery become more, we feel these shop keepers are fortunate.

 Ms. Shu-li:  
    When I knew the children wanted to participate in Cyberfair,
To make action research following teachers,
I felicitated myself that the children made a wise choice. 
I saw the team working on heavy and complicated work such as searching data, interviewing on the spot, typing verbatim records etc. Everybody did the research work steadfastly and earnestly.

 

I remember that once we interviewed an uncle vendor of squid came to Luchou Market from remote Yilan, in order to went deep into his source of goods, we went along with him to the fishing port of Yilan Touchen to clarify the source of bulk goods on the spot.  Through the interview of him, we knew that he must go to Luchou Market by the morning train and then by a taxi to sell squids in order to earn more money to support his family, he's so diligent.

   In the course of interview, we found a lot of different stories which let the children know more about the toilsome aspect of each vocation. I also saw the zeal and over-absorption of mind of the whole team through the interview.
In the entire research, children's ability had been improved greatly, and they had contacted different people, matters and things. I believe that their over-absorption of mind, efforts and dedications will leave nice memories in their lives.


      

 Ms. Ya-ling:

     Participating in the research team was a coincidence to me.  Hsin-ting used to tell me something interesting in relation to their commando interviewing vendors in the market.  Afterwards I met Mei-hui and Ms. Hsiou-yan and we had a chat, that charm attracted me to join the commando.

 Walking in and out the market together with team members, I found those stories in market were so interesting, especially those struggling histories of vendors were really admirable.

I have like to study the research spirit of teachers most, although each of them was a mother of two or three kids, some should nurse at the same time as typing, some should cook at the same time as remote controlling team members to upload work records.  When we were designing the webpage together, I found their computer skill was not that good, however, they still completed their assignment.  Being with team members, I feel as if I've grown young, as for some kinds of study, it's really necessary to gain new insights through reviewing old material!


-Ms. Li-shu:

 After staying up for several nights, I began to a little understand the reason why I couldn’t finish webpage… when I was saying this, I could visualize Mei-chung pouting, the innocent expression in the eyes of Mei-hui and giggly chubby face of Shiou-yen… No, indeed, I was not saying these to direct the space bar, not even those not focusing as well as hand shaking photos that I mended for quite a while with eyebrow frowned, and those silly things that the files corrected, I had early accepted it too…              

But, was it for sure due to that little silly?! When I saw the webpage gradually developing, I also tirelessly narrated the rushing about in these two years at day and night and all weathers, in the two year, I at another space and time, got pregnant, gave birth to little A-er, leisurely planned important things of myself, on the other hand the footsteps to and fro the food market actually didn’t stop, it even went further and further…Tamshui, Nanmen, Yilan…I heard the development of market stories, recalled with deep emotion the endeavor of children and toil of teachers, like listening to old grandmother slowly talk that dust-laden past events…until I also came to participate the lineup, webpage, appliance, achievements of the two years…the more I did, the more I really moved in my heart, I couldn’t help but say—these children, how lucky you were to meet with the tour to the food market, they not only solidly learned all the abilities in the subject, but also experienced and were influenced by the unadorned, zealous and sincere teacher’s model, when I saw again the campus market that was came into being through taking a lot of trouble and purchasing one by one out of their own pocket , read again those study logs and interview literal drafts that were made through painstaking instruction, and those plenty of photo trace…. it seemed what the webpage could tell was only one out of a thousand, one couldn’t finish telling…
Although facing the webpage that couldn’t be finished anyway, what I wanted to say was thanks, thank the beautiful and important tour, I was at back, let me catch up with the procession, which made my hands that were typing the keyboard fell also honored…

Best friends:  Hsin-ting Lin, Yu-hsuanYao, Hsuan-wei Li,
My fancy: Playing computer, drawing, playing the piano, playing the violin, listening to pop songs, sport.

    When I participated in Cyberfair, our teacher took us to the market to interview shop keepers and experience selling food practically, that let me know and recognize more about the market. Despite sometimes I had to write reports on my rest days, I knew a lot of friends, that's another kind of study.

Hsin-ting Lin

I'm Hsin-ting Lin
I'm from Cyberfair team. 
I'm in Grade five. 
I like playing computer. 
My habit is playing computer, too. 
I'm 11. 
My constellation is Aries
My best friends are Hsuan-wei Li and Yu-hsuanYao
I'm a boy
My most favorite sport is swimming, playing ball and playing the violin

    I think Cyberfair let me learn quickly, like last time, Cyberfair project broadened my view that I saw tangle and burdock I'd never seen. I made a quick progress through this study. Cyberfair project contained not only joys but also toils, we had to compose reports after returned from the survey of market, therefore there were sweets and bitters in Cyberfair project. 

Yu-hsuan Chen

Hello everyone! My name is Yu-hsuan Chen, I'm twelve, I like fruit such as apple, juicy peach, kiwi fruit, sugar-apple, pineapple, orange and mandarin orange, I like playing on-line games most. I can type quickly, and my typing has been tested, I can type over forty English words or over thirty Chinese characters per minute. Although I passed the examination, I still felt my typing speed was slow, but now things changed, I can type more quickly than ever. Additionally I've learned musical instruments such as harmonica and Chinese flute. My English was very good in former times, I had passed the test from Grade one to four, so my parents were surprised. Well, my self-introduction is as above, and then, THE END.

     I thought there must be something interesting happen since my first day in Cyberfair, I've learned a lot of things and knowledge from start to finish, and I've known a lot of people. It turns out that you can bargain with vendors in the market, even get free goods if you have a good friendship with the vendor, but not in the supermarket. And I've known the histories of Jhunshan Theatre andTamkang University, so I think Cyberfair was a very great activity.

Chia-ling Chang

Hello everyone! I'm Chia-ling Chang. 
I like playing jokes, my interest is dancing, playing computer and sleeping etc. I live by my likes, anyway I'm easy to approach, only have a bit bad temper sometimes. I have many nicknames, such as A-ling, Corn and Cha-beibei. Don't misunderstand, I'm not rude actually, unless someone is naughty and always teases girls, I will give him a lesson, hah hah... So I said I'm strange and smart!  Haw-haw ah ~ ~ though I look brave, in fact I'm very timid. @ˇ@. Here comes the point, I'm very humorous in private!

Today is my first time in Cyberfair. 
    I was very nervous, because I'd never taken part in it, I didn't know whether I could make it. When I was learning how to enter Cyberfair today, I kept asking myself that could I really make it? Could I really be competent for it? 

Because I was a little confused, I was liable to forget how to do, and I would always ask teachers, I had no experience, this was my first day after all. Thank teachers for your instructions and support to me!

But I just wanted to say one sentence to the computer,

Happy new year!

     I definitely didn't know there was such a good activity (Cyberfair) at the beginning,
Until Ms. Wu invited me. 
I knew a lot of friends there. 
And I took part in a lot of interesting activities, the most memorable one to me was a market exhibition. 
We decorated the exhibition with a lot market styles. 
It introduced some vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, sundry goods, draperies and hardware commodities. 
We had visited the market for many times to know how shop keepers ran their business and joys and toils therein, and then we experienced selling vegetables at stalls personally, we learned how to place goods and how to serve customers, we gained a lot.  In order to know more about the operation of fish market, we took a special trip to markets of Yilan and Tamshui for visit, I realized the significance of market because of this activity. 
If nobody sells food, we will have no fresh vegetables, fruit, fish or meat. And if you met some food you couldn't cook, you could ask the vendor. So the market provides convenience and thick human interest for us. Thank them very much. Finally I'd like to thank schoolmates and teachers in Cyberfair! 
Thank you all for sharing so many nice and joyful things with me.
