　　Teacher Mei Hua announced a competition in class. My classmate and I were very interested so we? requested to register.

2010/11/12  

　　At our first training meeting, the director allowed us to go on Taiwan’s blog website to better understand the online competition’s history and current situation. The director also showed us works by participants, from our school, from previous years. I believe that if we unite together with the class next door, we will be able to create projects with good content. We will not lose to our school seniors and alumni.

2010/11/19

　　Today was the first day that the class split into groups. Through these groups I was able to gather a great deal of information regarding the topic at hand.

2010/12/14

　　When I did personal research at night, I found some information on the Flamingo Lily flower that the director wanted us to look out for, so I immediately sent the information to the director and teacher Mei Hua.

2010/12/15

　　After much effort, I managed to find an abundance of news and examples regarding the Flamingo Lily flower, which showed me the fame of the Flamingo Lily flower in the media realm.

2011/01/12  

　　Today at lunchtime, everyone went to the computer room to register for the competition. After some discussion, we decided to name our team [The Soaring Flamingo Lily Flower].

2011/01/24

　　I helped my teammates proofread and send their emails to the director and teacher Mei Hua. The teachers showed me a rough draft of the table of the planned special topics and asked me to change the details. I also found information on ways to cultivate and breed Flamingo Lily flowers.

2011/01/25

　　After researching and finding information on the ways to cultivate and reed Flamingo Lily flowers, I cleaned up and polished my information and then sent it to the director and teacher Mei Hua.

2011/01/26

　　After simplifying the special topics plan and helping other students fill out their surveys, I understood that making a survey is not as easy as it seems. I also began to understand the importance of data from surveys.

2011/01/27

　　Hau-hsuen：With feelings of joy and excitement, my family and I set out on a dream-come-true flower-sightseeing adventure. I hoped to use this opportunity visiting the flower exhibition to gain a better understanding of the Flamingo Lily flower, which I hoped would help in the research of the special Flamingo Lily flower topic. Following the huge crowd of people into the bloom exhibition, my eyes lit up the moment I stepped inside the exhibition because the Flamingo Lily flower was right in front of my eyes. Right away I took a picture. That picture counted as our group’s first piece of research. From this exhibition I also took away a lot of information and knowledge pertaining to the Flamingo Lily flower including information about how the flowers are individually packaged, Flamingo Lily flower seed cultivation and export pipelines. In the exhibition I also discovered many different types and colors of Flamingo Lily flowers. The beauty and difference of every different type leaves everyone awestruck and breathless. This trip truly opened my eyes and from it I truly gained a lot of knowledge, especially after I saw the innovative research and development that can describe the current Flamingo Lily flower work. It’s so moving that this research and development has allowed the Flamingo Lily to become the up-and-coming flower in Taiwan’s flower market and will eventually take it to international flower arena.

2011/02/03

　　Jiang-hsing: I received a referral from teacher Kang to director Xiu Zhu. Teacher Kang also agreed to assist me in creating a website for the 2011 comptition.

2011/02/08

　　This morning at 8:30, the director took us to Neimen county in Kaohsiung to investigate how flowers and plants are transported and distributed. Director General Lin Qing Shan carefully and fully answered every question we asked through his stories about his experience starting his own business. He spoke of the difficulties he encountered being an entrepreneur, and the predicaments he sometimes faces. Director General Lin also made an exception for us and allowed us to take a tour around his greenhouse to pick flowers. Among the flowers we saw a lot of Flamingo Lily flowers, including some breeds that have not even hit the mainstream markets yet. All of the students fought to take pictures to keep a memory of the new flower.

　　In the afternoon a huge crowd of people arrived at the Kaohsiung International Flower Auction. In the presentation room, all the students focused their attention on Manager Zhao’s careful explanation. Going to the place of the live auction was the moment that we students had anticipated the most. Usually most expect auctions to be chaotic and messy, but this auction was completely different from what we all expected. This auction utilized a combination of computer technology and push buttons to allow purchasers to submit bids. It was the first time I had ever seen an auction done like this before. Buyers placing bids concentrated hard on the big screen afraid to make even the smallest bidding mistake and waste their hard earned money.

　　After a full day journey, everyone busied themselves with organizing the material and information they gathered from the day, and I set myself to write the draft of the explanation part of our project, explaining the Flamingo Lily flower greenhouses we saw earlier in the day.

2011/02/09

　　Jiang-hsing：Because it was my first time participating in this kind of competition, I didn’t really understand it, so I used our online7 time to find examples of previous winning project topics.

　　Hau-hsuen：Working hard under enormous time pressure, we finally finished writing our draft（explaining Flamingo Lily flower greenhouses) and our reflections on our flower-focused trip to Taipei. The director helped us to proofread our drafts and then printed and distributed our work to the other students for them to use as reference. Under the guidance of our director, seeing the hard work our director put in for us, no matter how many drafts the director wants me to write, I would never say that I’m sick or tired of the work.

2011/02/10

　　Jiang-hsing：After observing the work of previous years, I began to discuss my ideas for the construction of my project with Teacher Junhong.

　　Hau-hsuen： Our teacher took us on the trip because she wanted us to take advantage of our visit to refresh our memories, so that we could write about our experience visiting the plant and flower distribution center and agricultural co-op. Only when I was writing my reflection of the trip did I truly understand the saying“Reading thousands of books and scrolls is still not comparable to traveling thousands of miles.”Reading about something from an article is very different from actually doing it.

　　In the afternoon, everyone joined together to organize all the pictures and videos from the day to make reference materials for the website. I believe the data we collected is of great educational value!

2011/02/11

　　Going through material to find articles related to the flower auction market, today’s experience is very different from other experiences I’ve had because I felt everyone’s strong determination. Everyone’s determination made me feel that my teacher wasn’t the only one encouraging me to work hard. The encouragement I received from all my classmates has increased my enthusiasm for the project. I believe that in the near future, all of us students will climb to their highest potential.

2011/02/18

　　Hau-hsuen：Together, everyone worked hard to think of names for each special topic and get the majority of the hardest parts of the content finished. At lunch, the director gave each of us 15 surveys for us to hand out in one of Kaoshong’s flower markets during our vacations.? I’m sure everyone is looking forward to this once in a lifetime experience of handing out surveys! Hopefully we will be able to get our surveys completed and get the statistics we need quickly and swiftly. I pray that everything will go well with our special topic.

2011/02/20

　　Hau-hsuen：In the afternoon, me, Chen Qi Lin, Li Jiang Fu, Liu You Jun, and Peng Yu Chen, went to the flower market next to Laogong park to hand out our surveys and begin our research. Only after we started passing out surveys, did I begin to realize that passing out surveys wasn’t as easy as it seemed. I finally understood the feeling of disappointment that others passing surveys had felt when I rejected their fliers and surveys in the past. When I was the one being rejected, I then understood the hardships those passing surveys go through. After this experience, I know that in the future, if I see a student passing out surveys for special topics or research, I will happily stop and help fill out a survey for them.

2011/02/21

　　Jiang-hsing：We finished the basic framework for the presentation, in addition to the titling and subtitling. Then we had Director Xiu Zhu look over our work and give us suggestions and creative criticism.

　　Hau-hsuen：Everyone gathered together at the school’s computer room to work on revisions and additions to our presentations. The two students working on the website were working equally as hard on their work. I worked with them and gave them suggestions and ideas. I believe that our project should be completed very soon!

2011/02/24

　　Jiang-hsing：Director Xiu Zhu gave us a lot of suggestions and comments on the content and the layout of our presentation.

　　Hau-hsuen：In the afternoon we took the second class period of the weekly allotted meeting time to go to a flower market not far from our school to pass out surveys. Although we went to the flower market at a time when most people are working, but it was still bustling, so we were able to interview and survey quite a few customers. We also saw a lot of Flamingo Lilies, our special topic flower, in many flower shops that we went into. One the way back to school, I saw a small, nondescript, flower shop. I still had a few surveys so I headed toward the tiny shop. The manager in the shop asked me for a survey and after looking over it, showed me the special Flamingo Lilies their shop had. It was a great experience and I gained so much knowledge and insight! To make things even better, our director rewarded us with bread on the way home. With the food reward, we all regained strength to keep on working hard.

2011/02/27

　　Jiang-hsing：After we finished making the button that connected us to our presentation page (hyperlink), we learned how to use javascript to browse through pictures and create an interactive effect.

　　Hau-hsuen： Today, under the guidance of the director and Teacher Mei Hua, I was able to proofread and correct my portion of the blog. The experience taught me how to take data from online and combine into complete and concise information. Apart from that, I was also able to give comments to my classmates and together we were able to complete the February 24^th Survey Data Collection Reflection Paper. ? At the end of class today, me and my classmates all shouted one after another in encouragement, “KEEP FIGHTING! YES, WE CAN!!

2011/02/28

　　Jiang-hsing：After arranging the content and pictures, I learned how to use Javascript to make the top button.

　　Hau-hsuen：Today everyone sacrificed their weekend to come and work on the blog. Everyone concentrated hard and managed to finished all the parts they were responsible for. Everyone wanted to do this special topic well. My responsibility was to give all the pictures on the blog to the director and teacher Mei Hua and gather all the pictures so that the student responsible for making the website map can have more resources to complete his or her portion.

2011/03/01

　　Jiang-hsing: We removed the “Do not use” label on the flash button, and replaced it with the function of manually using the mouse to click through the images.

　　Hau-hsuen: Everyone discovered that the information that we had collected was not enough, so me and my group took responsibility of gathering more information. After we gather all the information we need, I will help proofread the information. This morning everyone was very busy; although there wasn’t that much time, everyone still worked in a unified manner to gather information.

2011/03/03

　　Jiang-hsing：During lunch, I discussed with teacher Junhong how best to decorate the special topic web page and how to design other basic aspects of the special topic page.

　　Hau-hsuen：During lunch, I was responsible for continuing the proofreading of information that was gathered in this past month and then, when finished, sending the proofread information to the direct and teacher Meihua.

2011/03/07

　　Jiang-hsing：The school used javascipt to make the button on the right hand column and is currently experimenting with using it in other parts of the website.

　　Hau-hsuen：My classmate had a bit of information that had to be typed up, so I helped them type up the information, and the information was quickly organized and polished up. Not only did I get a feeling of accomplishment, my group members were also very thankful for my help. If we work together, we definitely have endless potential.

2011/03/09

　　During the weekly meeting in the afternoon class, director Xiu Zhu and teacher Jun Hong drove me and other members of the website blog group to Neimen’s green plant and flower distribution cooperative to visit councilmember Lin Qing Shan. This was my first time participating in an activity like this and it was a great new experience. At his office, the councilmember shared with the students his experiences with supervision and administrative work. He also helped the students to generally understand the operation methods and philosophies behind the distribution cooperative so that we could know how best to design the website. Before leaving, the councilmember even gave us a gift of handpicked Flamingo Lilies from one of the greenhouses. His great hospitality definitely moved our entire class, emotionally.

2011/03/13

　　Jiang-hsing：I continued my discussions with teacher Jun Hong regarding the layout and spatial configuration of the website and connecting and installing the button on the left to connect to the major page. Everyone who has seen the website has praised it. Even the principal came in during the lunch our to encourage us, give us advice on making the special topic the main focus, and remind us, students, which items to pay attention to. We also used this opportunity to take a photo with the principal, to have a memory to keep from this whole website/blog making experience.

　　Hau-hsuen：Because I received the excellent academic achievement award at the school-wide assembly today, I was not able to attend the blog training meeting at the computer room this morning. It’s too bad that I was not able to take a picture with the principal, but just as I was presenting flowers to retiring Director Chu Xieping, Director Xiuzhu and Teacher Meihua walked into the auditorium with a camera and took a precious picture for me. Furthermore, the flowers I was presenting to the Director were the Flamingo Lilies that our project just happens to be about, so the picture is that much more precious to me!

2011/03/14

　　I just finished assembling the website with the flash title button and connection.

2011/03/17

　　Jiang-hsing: When I finished uploading the finished section onto the school’s ftp, I asked the teacher and group members to please take a look and provide some suggestions. They were not stingy with their comments, so the website had to keep being modified and changed, but in order to get a good grade, I had to take the criticism. The only problem was that the due date was fast approaching. Inside I was extremely stressed out. Fortunately, my group-mates volunteered to stay behind and help us do some typesetting work. I am so grateful for their help!

　　Hau-hsuen：After this project experience, I not only learned how useful it is to gather information into one location, I also learned what having a group mentality means. At the beginning of the website making process, I used to think of myself as better than everyone else. I used to think that alone, I could do the work of many people, and so I neglected the opinions of my other group members and acted rashly instead. Fortunately, I was advised by Director Xiu Zhu and Teacher Meihua to change. Afterward, I was able to understand the importance of a group mentality. I was extremely blessed to have this opportunity so that I could practice gathering and grouping information and become an expert at it. I believe that after this experience, whether I have group reports or have to gather information, I will be able to use what I have learned from this project to its fullest potential. Lastly, I hope that all the hard work from both the teacher and students can be seen by the judges, and that they will give us first place!??

November 5th, 2011 (2 hours) Selective Recruitment

　　Ms. Chang and ms. Li recruited members for doing Cyberfair 2012 project and relayed to us some information about it, giving us some time to decide whether we wanted to take part in it or not.

November 12^th, 2011 (2 hours) Deciding on Cyberfair Project Topic

　　It was the first day of training sessions today. Because Taipei International Flower Expo was the hottest news recently and one of Ms. Li’s friends cultivated anthuriums in Neimen District, Kaohsiung, we decided to choose the Green Flower Marketing Cooperative, which planted and produced anthuriums, as the topic of our project.

November 19^th, 2011 (1.5 hours) Situation Unclear

　　The situation of Cyberfair unknown to us, Ms. Chang wanted work cooperatively collecting information and pictures concerning anthuriums, which would be beneficial to us once the situation was clear.

November 26^th, 2011 (2 hours) Information Collection

　　On locating anthurium Tainung No. 1 and No. 2, we sent information and pictures to the instructors to decide whether they were relevant.

December 22^nd, 2011 (2 hours) Tidying up and Compiling Information

　　Besides tidying up and compiling information and pictures of Tainung No. 1 and No. 2, we also found pictures of other species. They were really beautiful. Together we sent it to the instructors.

January 24^th, 2012 (12 hours) No Break in Winter Vacation

　　Though winter vacation, we still had to go to school for intensive training sessions. We had taken care of the two units of “Introduction Neimen” and “The World of Flowers” for the past two days. Ms. Li assign these two units to Chi-lin, Sung Yi, Yiou-jun and me. Under the instructors’ instruction, Guan-lin compiled Taiwan’s flower distribution map and my information on flowers and wedding garments into a WORD file and tables. Then she sent them to the instructors.

January 26^th~27^th, 2012 (12 hours) Working Overtime after Going Back to School

　　After the Back-to-school Day, we continued our training sessions. I outlined the community research plan and project research plan; Sung Yi drafted the project outline; and Yu-cheng added something to yesterday’s WORD file. Together with what we located from Yahoo! on flower-giving etiquette today, we sent all of them to the instructors for inspection. We had a discussion about going to the flower shops in Guo-min Market, doing interview with some people on anthuriums. The instructors asked us to complement our work journals and assigned Yu-cheng to trim and make the flower-giving etiquette into a WORD file.

January 28^th, 2012 (6 hours) The Second Grouping (by Sung Yi)

　　We were regrouped to take charge of each unit. Guna-lin was responsible for the development of anthurium industry; Yiou-jun was assigned the unit “Flowers Show”; Yu-cheng and Chi-lin volunteered to join “The World of Flowers” because they thought that the number of pieces of flowers given stands for different meanings; and as for me, I missed a couple of training sessions because of band practices, I decided to singled out my information about flower things for ordering and improvement.

February 8^th~12^th, 2012 (42 hours) A visit to the Green Flower Marketing Cooperative & Tidying up the Interview Content (by Guan-lin, Yiou-jun, and Yu-cheng)

　　We went to the Green Flower Marketing Cooperative for a visit in the morning, visiting the flower greenhouse to know something about cultivating and planting anthuriums. Seeing so many different species of anthuriums really broadened our horizon. Director of the Cooperative Mr. Lin taught us many things, such as how to reduce production cost by using recycled resources, the patents he applied, skills of the pollination of anthuriums, and how to harvest anthuriums. Unreservedly, he answered all our questions. And under his arrangement, we took a tour to Kaohsiung International Flower Market in Hsiao-gang. Besides listening to the briefing about the distribution of flower markets in Taiwan, we also personally experienced the process of flower auction. Though it was a tiring day, we were greatly benefited both in information collection and personal growth.

　　Without stopping, we keyed in and sorted out our pictures video clips, and insights from yesterday’s visit. On finishing, we sent them to the instructors.

February 14^th, 2012 (3 hours) Composing Organization Tree-structured Chart (by Sung Yi)

February 20^th, 2012 (6 hours) Dispatching Questionnaire 1 (in Labor Recreation-and-education Park) (by Yu-cheng and Yiou-jun)

　　Chii-lin, Jiang-fu, and I went to the Labor Recreation-and-education park dispatching the questionnaire copies. Though very hot, we were in high spirits. We were being refused all the time: some came there buying flowers; some had difficulty understanding Mandarin Chinese; still some just ignored us, which was really frustrating. Finally, Yu-cheng made some progress by orally telling the seniors the content of the questionnaire.

February 23^rd, 2012 (4 hours) Dispatching Questionnaire 2 (in Hsing-chung Flower Market) (by Guan-lin and Sung Yi)

　　Ms. Chang took us to Hsing-chung Flower Market to dispatch the questionnaire copies. We spotted not a few stores arranged anthuriums for selling, most of which were from the Green Flower Marketing Cooperative, proving that the Cooperative occupied a certain amount of sales in the market. When the flower shop owners knew that our interview was about anthuriums, they enthusiastically informed us of a lot of information about anthuriums. Being the first time doing street side questionnaire investigation, we were quite nervous, which was eased by most people’s cooperation. Some of them even asked us what we were doing this for. When knowing that we were doing this to promote Neimen anthuriums, they said something encouraging to us. These two hours proved to be successful and profitable.

February 26^th, 2012 (6 hours) Tidying up and Correcting insights of the Visit

　　In the morning the instructors told us that our insights should be completed following our own moods, not retelling the entire fixed schedule. Thus, we rewrote our insights of the visit. After compiling interview question items with Mr. Lin on February 8^th, I sent the file to all the team members.

　　Because Yiou-jun lived far away from the school, she didn’t show up in our training session; instead, she contacted us through the Internet, emailing her newly-found information and the corrected part of her assignment to the instructors. As for me, I made some corrections to my insights and the unit of “Dancing among Anthuriums.” In the afternoon we conducted peer assessment.

February 28^th, 2012 (6 hours) Proofreading and Ordering

　　We checked our previous work on anthurium species word by word. Sung Yi spent a lot of time keyed in the instructors’ first visit to Neimen and made it into a tabular form; Yu-cheng, under Ms. Li’s instruction, added notes to the pie charts. After finishing our respective assignments, we sent them to the instructors for audition.

March 9^th, 2012 (4 hours) The Second to the Green Flower Marketing Cooperative

　　Ms. Chang and Mr. Hsie took some of the team members to the Green Flower Marketing Cooperative for a second visit. Before Mr. Lin showed up, we personally tried cleaning the picked anthuriums. No matter how hard we tried, we just couldn’t make it right. Not until then did we really the true meaning of “Easier said than done.” The tricks of doing things well are accumulated through experience. After the interview with Mr. Lin, he gave us some anthuriums as a gift. His enthusiastic assistance not only enriched our project but also gave us unforgettable memory.

March 13^th, 2012 (18 hours) Guidance and Pepping-up from Mr. Principal

　　Ms. Li showed us how to process our statistics of the questionnaire using SPSS. After the statistics were sorted out, we input them into Excel to turn them into pie charts. In the beginning, we found it hard to master. But after the instruction from Ms. Li and our own exploration, we finally got our hands in it. Accordance to Ms. Li, this was one of the benefits of doing the Cyberfair competition, forcing you to learn a lot what you were originally unfamiliar with. Yiou-jun also took a lot of trouble turning the complicated digits in “Digits of Flowers” into neat forms, making the whole layout both clean and clear. Mr. principal specifically came to the Computer Lab to pep us up, really moving us a lot. We learned much from his conversation with us about doing Cyberfair project. Finally, he hoped that we could get the highest prize, bringing glory to our school.

November 4^th, 2011 Planning & Preparation (Ms. Chang and Ms. Li)

　　Ms. Li and I planned to instruct Business Service Department students of the Comprehensive School to take part in Cybrefair Competition 2012. After some discussion, we decided on the topic of the Green Flower Marketing Cooperative, on one hand to comply with the 2012 Taipei International Flower Expo and on the other hand to promote MIT industries.

November 5^th, 2011 Recruiting (Ms. Chang and Ms. Li)

　　When conducting our Introduction to Business courses, we asked the students whether they wanted to participate in the 2012 Cyberfair competition. To our great surprise, seven students signed in in the break. At the same time, Ms. Li got two interested students. We needed another student to make it ten. We thought of asking one from the Data Processing Department.

November 12^th, 2011 Teaming up

　　In the lunch break training session, We guided the students to have a look at the previous cyberfair projects. Taking the chance, we told them where they could locate the information they needed for the project.
