Title: The feeling on meeting
 Date: October 12, 2006, noon
Location: Meeting room
Recorder: Hsiao-nai Lin

    Today, I originally thought I could at last have a nice and sweet nap at noon, but I didn’t expect this noon I had to attend a meeting in the meeting room at fourth floor. Sitting here I had a feeling as if I were a grown-up person. I didn’t know why no one took the full pencil box to meeting room. The teacher said how could you take record without pencil box? 
    The discussion should also be recorded!! The next discussion should also be recorded, so the teacher could select records from the diary, but that was not enough. They needed to take photos, so the teachers would select cameraman and record to take photos.
Today’s meeting was unexpected to me, because I had never come to meeting room to attend a meeting. I entered the meeting room, and felt that I was grown up. I had thought participating Cyberfair was nothing more than observing things and writing what we saw. I never thought that I could enter a meeting room.

  

     In the meeting, the teacher discussed whether to set our blog. We unanimously agreed. Later, Chi-rong was willing to help us to set. The teacher wanted us to clap hands, all of us clapped our hands. So it was Chi-rong who helped us to set. The teacher also let us see her afterthoughts, and list of issues to discuss. For example, the subject for discussion on October 10 was that “There is always difference between fact and ideal” (that day, some students used the money to bring things in convenience stores and Watsons).

Title:  Having a good mood to participate the team
 Date:  November 9, 2006
Location:  Research building 5-2 computer room
Recorder: Mei-chung Wu

     Under a little hot sunshine, I watched children crossing the big playground to go to the research building.
Their figure was somewhat languid and lucky,
because children of other classes would have a noon nap,
the children could take the opportunity to ask teacher Lishu and Meihong to instruct them how to log on the team log.
Only...the computer was not cooperating,
watching the clever children taking out research log, 
trying hard to copy the logon flow, 
I was greatly gratified.
Because,
let children participate Cyberfair,
was in a hope to let children learn to observe, think, and show care to others, and solve problems actively.
Let the children have wisdom they could bring with them was my always endeavor. 
Come on!
I hoped before next Wednesday, 
I could see the names of the children in the log,
also... at least three working records.

Title:  The ninth meeting
  Date:  December 24, 2006
Location: Broadcasting room
Recorder: Chi-rong Hsu

  

      Ah~~it had been a long time since I came to Cyberfair,
at last I finished dancing and paper-cut, 
but I was afraid whether I was behind others. 
I am very worried about it.
The meeting began, firstly Ms. Wu distributed some materials. 
We read for a while,
the teacher then asked about the progress on writing interview question. 
I looked at my teammate,
and asked in a low voice: “Did you design questions when I was not there?”
[How could it be possible!!” she answered,
the teacher let Chia-ling and Hsin-he read their questions first.
After Chia-ling finished,
Ms. Wu asked:
the question you said just now was:
I would like to ask you what is the origin of the stuff you sell, does it relate to his/her story? 
”Er............”Chia-ling pondered,  
we also remained silent.
Ms.Wu said: “I will go out for a while and will be back soon, during the period you think about whether the question relates to his/her story?”
I did not come up with the answer. The teacher came back and asked us one by one. I said,  
I think we can go deeper in asking the question, maybe we can also ask what has happened on his/her way to the wholesale market.
”Er! That’s what you thought.” The teacher paused for a while after she finished. 
Then she asked, “on Wednesday we will go to interview a old grandmother who sells meat, who can go?”
”Although I want to go very much, I cannot because tomorrow I will take a make-up English course~~sorry” I said.
After confirming the number of people going, we dismissed.
Before we left, the teacher added, “Now~~ you should surely type this log, otherwise…you will take forever.”
She spoke with a little smile as well as a little threatening.
I knew the teacher really meant it this time, so no matter how busy I was, I would type my log. I was thinking about this while walking.

Title:  Heart settles in Cyberfair!
Date:  December 24, 2007
 Recorder: Mei-chung Wu
     In fact, menacing was my specialty. That was not so, I was in Cyberfair, I couldn’t help! Especially, sometimes I would shock education! Today’s discussion was in fact to remind team members whether their interview questions for the vendors could bring them to tell their stories. The pre-planning is a respect to the people who were interviewed. It is also a responsible practice.

     I hope that the question we asked were all important points, so I just let team members attentively compile old materials. I wish they can gain new insights through reviewing old material. I expect them to think more, they should have their own idea and view. I need to keep in the track with others. Otherwise, they would not finis!

Title:  This is a group of happy children
Date:  February 3. 2008
Recorder: Shiou-yen Chang
     The participation in Cyberfair was really a happy thing, because they would have the opportunity to enter the community, go into crowds, and follow the instructors (especially Ms. Wu) to study the means and methods of doing research, learn skills in Grade 1-9 Curriculum.
The students could also have the opportunity to practice talking to strangers, perform in front of the entire school, learn to paint, use computer, and practice writing.  
So I believe that they are the happiest group in Luchiang Elementary School

Title:  Wow! At last we would face reality
Date: January 30, 2008
Location:  School registration team
Recorder: Mei-hui Chiang 

     Today several members gathered to discuss “how to present webpage and compile content”. A group of “garrulous people” are attentively discussing today’s important points, although we would “digress” for a while occasionally, mostly we could stay on track. How rejoicing we were!Our consistent spirit for meeting was “eating” with “talking and laughing”, making fun of others to “seek progress”. So today is no exception!
    After assigning the content Ayi’s mother said, “this year’s Cyberfair is actually done by a group of garrulous people, it is truly ferocious! ” This made me very nervous. I heard that people doing Cyberfair project have several characteristics, including climb walls and watching stars......, really? Then I would “abandon my family”, I truly had the feeling of somewhat “go astray”. Nevertheless, I “couldn’t give up halfway”, the so-called success was to see who could persevere. The stage belongs to those who stood long, I believe we will surely succeed, go!

Title:  Increase the thickness of life
Date:  February 16, 2008
Recorder: Mei-chung Wu
     When sharing with Cyberfair team members, I talked about some ideas I got during winter vacation, about how to improve the exquisiteness of your life. It was just the “thickness of life” mentioned by teacher Liu in studies.
At the lecture, teacher Liu asked, nowadays why do people BBQ during mid-autumn festival? If people get along, they could chat all day long with a pot of tea. In the present era, the pace of life is fast, yet interpersonal communication has diminished. We always make ourselves busy, as if it was very enriched. That enrichment seemed to fill our empty hearts. And then, we would BBQ during mid-autumn festival. Or else, it is hard to kill time with only moon cake and grapefruit. We now pre-order dishes for the family dinner of Spring Festival, but there is no atmosphere of preparation for the New Year. This New Year, when I went to my husband’s family in Beigang, my mother-in-law said she was going to make more rice cake so that we could bring it home.		  

     In process of making rice cake, we picked cabbage from field. My husband unskinned the cabbage, my sister-in-law diced it, children crushed the cabbage in blender, my father-in-law delivered the rice to the nearby village to have it extracted into rice paste, my mother-in-law and I washed the bamboo steamer...  how bustling it was! After the salty rice cakes were steamed, we ate the steaming hot rice cakes, that was the atmosphere of New Year! This was also the life wisdom of ancient people. Different times have different expectation and realization or disillusionment, anyhow, it gave the life some thickness. To the food market, we also have the same feeling, and delighted to see the richness and exquisiteness of life, even it was a little discovery.
