1. How did your activities and research for this International Schools CyberFair project support content standards, required coursework and curriculum requirements?

　　Through this interview, we realized that teamwork is the most important part of this special study. It contains three different elements. First, trust is one of the elements. Team members must trust each other in the group and believe that the other party can complete their own tasks. In the team, there must be one or more clear goals, so that everyone can move toward the goal, and each person must play a role, clearly know their tasks, and indeed to implement, otherwise our time will only be wasted. In the process of discussion, it is inevitable that the members of the group will have different opinions and ideas, and they may not be able to identify with others. Therefore, they should communicate and coordinate in a constructive and respectful manner, and accept opinions that are different from their own in order to bring the best way to reconcile your team. We truly learn the word “teamwork” as we do it. The internet is a much bigger learning area for all students. We can find most of our answers on the internet as we face the problem. Traditionally, people use books for their learning. When they have any questions on the book, they could often only ask the teacher for help. As learning on the internet, we can search for the answer by ourselves, this makes us as a more independent thinker. Independent thinkers are important, it makes our future better because we deal things by ourselves not rely on others. Furthermore, from the internet, we can see various kinds of answers from the world, this makes us think more internationally as learning on the book, can’t learn all these traits.

2. What information tools and technologies did you use to complete your CyberFair project?

                The list of our tools and technologies of helping us complete our CyberFair project are some software such as, Youtube, Google Chrome and Safari, Google Docs, Google Form, Google Drive, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Muse, iMovie and PowerDirector. Some physical facilities such as laptops, printers, phones, digital cameras, and monocular cameras. And some other tools such as, Optical fibre network, Wi-Fi and place for field interview. We think Wi-Fi and our laptop are the most valuable tools because we use them most often to complete our project. We have been using our laptop to finish most of our research and our organization of data. We also use our laptop to make our website. The corporate of our laptop with the Wi-Fi makes our project go more smoothly.

3. In what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both online and in person?

       As the rise of population aging and the lack of employment in factories, the number of migrant workers from southeast asia began to rise gradually. Not only the difference in the language they speak, the food they eat, and their cultural stereotypes and the fake news have also deepened the gap between Taiwanese and those migrant workers. As a result, it is the time for us to help them overcome these difficulties. For our group, with the advanced technology and internet, we found out the two non-profit organizations, “Migrants’ Park”, an online platform that report news articles and “ONE-FORTY”, which established an online learning course, enables migrant workers to study while working. We, as the ambassadors, contacted the people in our community through phone calls and emails at first. Second, we make a confirmation on the date and the specific location for the interviews. Next, we discussed approximately thirty critical questions that we might be asking during the conversation. Then the last step is our interview and actual visit, gathering additional information for our research project. Throughout these steps, we learned that the role of ambassadors is not an easy job, it requires good communication skills in order to finish the interview part. Furthermore, people were impressed by our research topic. Since the topic regarding Taiwan’s migrant workers has not yet been discussed widely, some people who have filled out our questionnaire have interesting responses for us. One thing,  some people believe that the questionnaire regarding our topic has broadened their horizon by the profound information they get from the questions. Yet, the issues of Taiwan’s migrant workers are now lacking trustworthy information that are accessible to  people, our project and the questionnaire have provided profound background knowledge to them, revising their knowledge on those southeast asian workers.

4. What has been or will be the impact of your project on your community?

                 Migrant workers interact with the community through different faces; for instance, take part in toil works that most Taiwanese found difficult to do. However, stereotype and discrimination having in the society and prejudicial news about these migrant workers tends to affect their treatment from their employers. Consequently, through our Web pages, individuals will learn the correct facts about these workers, correcting the stereotypes that already existed as well as exploring different organizations that had devoted to these issues and may have opportunities to donate money to them. In order to finish this project, we had interviewed ONE-FORTY and Migrant-Park for their contribution in this field. And therefore, we had formed bonds with these two organizations in which our school’s fundraising may focus on this issue and have further connections.

6. How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

 　　The most direct help we received was from our teachers at school, Mr. Shiao and Mr. Peng, who assisted our website construction and school affairs such as absence due to interviews conducted with ONE-FORTY and Migrant. The interviewees, Kevin Chen from ONE-FORTY and Asuka Lee from Migrant, also helped and participated significantly for our in depth research about the contemporary migrant workers’ issues and how the organizations empower them. Though their website provided some degree of information, it was a great pleasure to meet the founders in person for further questions related to their future goals, current difficulties and how the migrant workers respond to their help.

7. Discoveries, Lessons, and Surprises:

             Each of our team members learned valuable lessons through this experience. For one, we learned the way to be responsible. As a group member, it is important and necessary to contribute to the group, despite who you are and what your ability is, each of us play a role in a group to finish our own task. Since each of us are skilled in different parts, this makes our team work smoothly. In addition, we also  improved our own research, writing, and communicating skills through this project.

8. Respect for intellectual property rights and references：

　　The photos and videos used on this website were taken on-site at the school. Li Yuexuan, the Migrants' Park director of online media editing, and Kai Xiang, the founder of ONE-FORTY, agreed to be interviewed and cited. The source of the background information query will be indicated on the tab.
