Conforming
to the aims and purposes of “Cyberfair”
1.
The expertise of the teacher
Participating in this project helps the
teachers of our team to form a small scale organization of learning. Our
teachers have contributed their expertise in our activities through discussing
with students and coordinating the teaching of other fields. We have also
acquainted ourselves with the course and techniques of this project to improve
our professional knowledge and skills for engaging in relevant researches in
the future. Meanwhile, when probing into this project, our teachers’ personal
professional impressions and senses of responsibility has been revealed and we
also have achieved our goal that the teachers and the students can profit from
each other in this mutual research.
2.
The learning of the students
With the reform of Grade 1-9 curriculum,
the education inTaiwan
focuses on cultivating the ability to integrate and apply each subject. In the research
process, students have reinforced their ability of integration and application,
and applied it to editing webpages. The learning effects from this project will
help them enhancing their interests in independent leaning in the future.

In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Cyberfair project both on-line and in person.
The
“role of an ambassador” that Wun De Broadcasting Explore Team plays
All the members of Wun De Broadcasting
Explore Team have shown up in each visiting activity and we would have
discussed about and planned the procedures of the activity and have communicated
with BCC andNational
Radio Museum
about the subjects and topics of the interviews. We would have offered formal
official documents in accordance with their requests for the convenience of
prearrangement and assistance.
Students in our school tend to say, “Why
not bring us to understand BCC and broadcast?” We have not only investigated
the topics of this research but also have figured out the miniature and
framework of the research through the usage of several verbs, such as “bring”
and “to understand.” We have looked for “the introduction of broadcasting
theories” online under the instruction and have further found the existence ofNational Radio
Museum in MingHsiung,Chiayi County,
which is rich in broadcasting information and cultural relics. Meanwhile, we
have also focused on the BCC Taiwan Broadcasting Station inTaichung
and theTaipei
headquarters of BCC in this project.
With our diversified
collections of broadcasting information, presentations of the records and
archives of historical documents in BCC, visits of BCC Taiwan Broadcasting
Station and National Radio Museum in MingHsiung, Chiayi County, participation in Little Broadcasting Journalist
Camp, visiting each channel in BCC Taipei headquarters and interviewing the
famous broadcasting host, Mei-ren Yu, and the tour of “BCC Changhua Fenyuan
Radio Room,” we have made our efforts to present the most colorful broadcasting
world to readers as the role of an ambassador.

What has been the impact of your project on your community?
The
influences and impacts
The development of an industry may bring
prosperity to local development but it may bring some negative effects as well.
Therefore, the most important work to a corporation is to develop and share its
business with the locals to avoid the protests of them, especially with current
rise of sense of environmental protection. We have faithfully reported the
contributions and feedback that BCC has made, especially in the earthquake when
TV channels failed to send messages and the broadcasting stations elaborated
their best functions, helped save a lot of life, and facilitated the work of
rescue.
BCC has been the spiritual food of people
inTaiwan
as early as the time when televisions were not popular. People were used to
listening to the radio and working at the same time. Although televisions can
be seen everywhere now, the convenience of listening to the radio and the
portability of walkmans can still not be replaced by televisions.
BCC hasbeen in existence for 81 years since its establishment inNanjing,
Tingchiachiao in MainlandChina
in 1928 to current digital BCC headquarters onSungchiang Road inTaipei operated by a corporation in 2009. It
has always been the leading trend and is still being transformed and reformed
by future thoughts. The transformation from frequency channels of AM/FM to
digital audio broadcasting (DAB) and online broadcasting in 21st
century, the spirit of constant innovations in BCC is the best demonstration
for corporations.

Intellectual property rights
The information introduced in this website
is most investigated and recorded by our team members. However, some academic
literature reviews and pictures are from books published by BCC or the BCC
official website.
To value the intellectual property rights,
the information resources are listed in each webpage and there is an overall
arrangement of literature reviews in the webpage of citations. All the
information cited from BCC will be authorized by BCC with our formal official
documents to provide students with the right attitude towards protecting
intellectual property rights.

Attitude of a good
host
|
Were it not for CyberFair, the students in
our school might never investigate anything about broadcast throughout their
life. Even the nearest BCC Fenyuan Radio Room seemed so strange to us before.
After participating in the activities of interviews, visiting, keeping records,
writing reports, and being broadcasting journalists, the students are more
acquainted with the broadcasting world. Just like what our principal, Jui-ju
Chang, said, “These activities are the most valuable and beautiful memories to our
students.”
With such hopes and aims, Wun De
Broadcasting Explore Team will continue to investigate and look for other discoveries, lessons, and surprises.
Discoveries (the combination of “teaching anduniting”) are in the interactions between teachers and students of determining
the framework of research topics and the procedures of exploration.
The surprise is that to look for the
research topic is not as hard as what we had imagined. The direction of this
work was gradually formed by the participation, talking, constant clarification,
and the summarization from the students.
The best lesson and inspiration we have
learnt is that: knowledge is left everywhere and can be found as long as one
pays attention to it and the exploration is full of hopes when someone starts
to lead for that well begun is half done.
