4. Problems We Had To Overcome

Experience and understanding heritage: study 228 history theme is a combination of 6 members seedlings graders, although we have no experience, but our team through the community and teachers to share their experiences, held nothing back in inclusive these books can not learn from the knowledge and understanding, coupled with our mission to be the team's determination to overcome inexperience naturally plight. Lack of expertise: Before participating in Research Project, we refer to a number of books, Web sites, but the younger we learn best knowledge is still limited, although a computer network search easy, but the problem in detail and expertise are still inadequate; therefore in addition we ask teachers to schools, but also in cultural and historical studio interviews with the plight of local communities and local elders, so as not to fall into the blind men feeling the elephant.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

We want to study the topic by the 228 history and culture, so that we visit historical monuments in the process, the acquisition of knowledge of 228 history, oral history from elders in the community, we research 228 history, we understand the history and culture of 228 history, the more important is the establishment of local identity from the study course.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?

With the process of researching this topic, we can use the technology and information to cultivate one of the top ten basic abilities of students, take the initiative to explore and discover and think independently and solve the problem. That is, the subject research institute should cultivate the children ' Through the school teaching activities, to develop students' diverse ability. And the Internet's information technology is far from being created. Through the production of the thematic research program, we have been able to verify the nine-year-old information education with the 'ability orientation' rather than the 'intellectual orientation' education. Of the environment, who can quickly and effectively obtain the latest and most appropriate information, you can stand on the highest foothold to start, that is, the so-called 'master information, take the initiative.' As a result, we can effectively use knowledge to develop the ability to collect, analyze and organize information, so that the 'information is needed' Whether in the social sphere or in the routine of life, the teacher often teaches us to help others, care for the community, so community-based research gives us the opportunity to enter the community.
