Project Overview

1. Description of Our Community

Neh-hu Region gains its name after Neh-hu Village in the old days. Neh-hu Region is located in the eastern Taipei City.Hills lie in its eastern snd northern sides ; the Keelung River flows through its western and southern sides. The low central plain is a basin which is like a lake , and that is why it is called Neh-hu (Interior Lake). Heh-hu's beautiful scenery,therefore, is called 'the Backyard of Taipei City.' Heh-gou Stream flows through Tung-hu Area of Neh-hu, and this stream is the boundary with Shih-jih City of Taipei County. This stream originates from Ta-chien-ping Mountains, and meets with Keelung River, 500 meters up ahead of Nan-hu Bridge.

2. Summary of Our Project

Nei-Go Stream,which combines the beautiful scenes of hillocks, lakes,and brooks,is one of the few wild streams with natural ecological resources. It is also the great resort for the locals to ride a bike,have fun in the water, and catch fish. In recent years, in the name of flood prevention by water control, this stream has been contaminated. Moreover,this is not a so called stream, but a disgusting and stinky ditch instead. It is utterly hateful!

We hope to use this designated topic to explore the abundance of Nei-Go Stream,including the natural humanities ecology, birds, and primeval plants, tree frogs, and etc. Due to the efforts of the community and the appeal of the government, environmental protectors make the rare nature classroom possible. Nei-Go Stream, which lies at the edge of the city with the scarce ecological community, stretches the diversified living beings by the environmental breeding. Meanwhile, the life will subsist and multiply through this kind of change under the releasing of the giant power. After realizing the importance of the ecological preservation and environmental breeding nowadays, we hope we can probe more into the impact of the ecoloical conservation on nature.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome

Just beginning when doing webpages, understand nothing Where is not he clear? How to start? It is not clear, the not knowing to start form where of so many adding unidentifiedly, our bottleneck is appearing at the beginning.

When in the input that we want wholeheartedly among them, we find we have lessons to read, there is knowledge to be promoted, the first two on one of ours are old at this moment, we do not know that should shut and can just use our time properly, it is big problems that we have ever met too to still look for the materials that we need, it is that we are too long to understand that must collect the materials first thoroughly to it like this when because at the beginning, so we know we what materials need what materials need on earth at all, is it stick to duplicate all just, we take place we seem some understanding a bit more to interior ditch small stream first after ditch small stream here interview in going through us, there is not a question in the application of time.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

The fair of network circle, to these new hands of webpage making of ours, it is very strange, look forward to very much too. After we keep in touch actually, is it get network to be so simple to show only as what was hit wanting originally, need some distribution, arrangement of materials of color, is it have some we have a class the software not learnt in the past even to process, but how there is soon on the now such as us go it use software not to be though there is no method to do in an expert way sooned, but whom teacher make all-out efforts teach we, until the fact that we know. Among our forces of this group, everybody is quite strong-minded, in the course of discussing, there must be a lot of suggestions, among them, even some unhappiness while getting along. Think about and then after thing, you, in order to enable our works to demonstrate well better, excellent in more excellent realm.

So, in this network circle fair, we have not merely studied the webpage design skill, have also promoted the friendly feelings and friendship each other.

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

We are making webpages and often needing to use Word 2003 or three pieces of PhotoImpact 8 and Dreamweaver MX 2004 these, just began the teacher and did not teach a lot, find the method that some teachers have not taught when I am doing webpages or arraying data, though someone will think whether this was scamp work, of course not, this is named and taken the shortcut, but such a shortcut did us much favor, can help us to save time to save some tedious steps, but clear and easy to understand, we have learnt a bit more early than someone else more even, doing the thing afterwards to stand up will be relatively done in an expert way.

Project Elements

1) What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your CyberFair project?

* What skills have we learnt?

Fair of network circle this time, while making this webpage of ours ' the small stream of the ditch while exploring ', we will all help us with some relevant software, Flash can bring some vision of making cartoon to design, Word 2003 puts the file in order and preserves the materials, PhotoImpact 8 makes some designs of art designing bound foot girls and linking and layout of Dreamweaver MX 2004 networks, all these are the software that all of us will apply to, these array data, the art designer design, match colors even knot of skill, method, network is that we can go hard for study, most heavy harvest to us practise familiar many too Dreamweaver MX 2004 the software raw place, though others seem this seem very relevant, pieces of heavy harvest very for us at least, when should grasp say partly that very terribling with any methods of kind, but can consult teachers and the classmates discuss each other, have not feared not to learn in this way either at any time.

* Have we practised those team unity ideas?

While making webpages, the classmates, certainly different ideas and different suggestions will discuss each other, and will conflict to some extent naturally among them, cooperation is the best method to divide the work, team leader observe each speciality of team member is it is it work to assign to come, so making of webpage come out of whom one can design, it is all right to need everybody's cooperation. Our part that though some classmates are responsible has been finished very fast, but will help the student who is too busy to do it of those, some of us have not made a webpage ability alone yet, but in the course of webpage making this time, everybody can give play to one's own strong point, it is really very rare experience to join forces to finish a work!

2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

We have a lot of materials be found from network, so we can is it is it type from yahoo relevant on interior ditch name of small stream to seek to charge most, we can find the materials that we want from guide websites from accepting, or others have message board we can is it is it ask some relevant on interior ditch thing of small stream to leave a message to get on, at message board those will one before other people stay website or materials things these important materials very to us. And materials or will ask some make network people, circle of fair help us to watch when completing the board of us, see whether it is that there are places revised place or there not good there or not, so do the research of a special topic, not merely want the head to be clear, will do a good job of bold assumption first, draw up the question that we will ask first in advance, is listening to others' suggestions more, will help us to make out better layout and materials too like this.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?

(1)How is our case study planned to change our place?

Can see a lot of relevant child care to the brook in the case study plan this time, ecological renovation of brook

(2)We personage in the localities learn till new things from your webpage?

From the beginning, we, while making webpages, the sources of a lot of materials of ours are all in websites erected by other people on the network, find the materials that we need, the person that these materials have been read to other people may be only the floating smoke and passing clouds too, but it is very important that these materials are piled to us, because we need it to finish webpages, materials these he whether one is it finish network materials, circle of fair to bring to us at the beginning, but has put in order and got a lot of things to we finally, these things are not only the floating smoke and passing clouds, he exist for a long time among brain of us, these to is it is it learn all one's life to have to have a class, even Mr. Dr.eye: have had a class and said a lot of rivers and creeks should be treasured carefully in ' the child care of the rivers and creeks ', after class is over, believe people in student know left ear enter right ear produce, class is over who speak to you, so we masterpiece diligently believe everybody will have the same idea with us after everybody think.

4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

News that the small stream is correlated with in the interior ditch, the news of the report, on the experience not quite deep either before we all only see when do this relevant materials before this, until we one day find Ma Yingjiu speaks ' harnessing the river this time ' on the news newspaper, we getting quiet when we saw these words, whom begin conscientiously listen to conscientiously watch, this is that we are serious to his and diligently, such a special topic ' the small stream of the ditch while exploring ' just wants the deep discussion, through deepening discussion of us, after the edition, everybody can very clear content quintessence.

5) Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional)

Surf the Net at will strolling when having nothing to do sometimes, will see some others make good website, is it is it is it right away jump over to think all too to think going has nothing is better to it seems, but we oneself interview, should put down, do bulletin, want recording, is it revise file fight a lot of words to want soon when not making now, all these to waste spirit very much, a one's own one experience can is it make one webpage to want not as what was hit then simple actually to find in person. Everybody concentrates one's attention when make the layout, whom we think so finish equally when finishing the first, as if whom teacher speak spend much time, teacher say so good later on, where is too light, here does not accord with, these conditions can make us be here again, everybody comes to again, the main want the blue or green
