NARRATIVE-Overview

Local Specialty

II. Internet Environment:
School environment: The school uses a local area network to connect to the Internet. The speed is relatively fast—faster than we originally expected. However, sometimes the computer software we need cannot be used on school computers, so we have to use alternative software instead.
Home environment: Some students do not have computers at home, or their computers have relatively low performance. Therefore, most of the work is done at school. We make use of our daily lunch break time to complete our progress.

III. Challenges and Difficulties We Encountered:
Problem 1: Learning webpage layout design through hands-on instruction
The purpose of hands-on guidance was to help us learn webpage layout design. Because the webpage layout for this project was designed by ourselves, it was much richer and more refined than previous templates, which greatly increased the level of difficulty. As a result, students who were not good at webpage design or had no prior experience found it much more challenging.
Solution:
We asked senior students from the CyberFair team or teachers for help, and they were always kind and willing to assist us. However, some students still felt pressure and frustration, worrying that they might not keep up with the schedule or become a burden to others.

Problem 2: Progress issues
Because we also needed to prepare for major exams, attend classes on holidays, and spend a lot of personal time designing our own webpage layouts, the time available for webpage production was clearly insufficient. As a result, the time we could gather for intensive practice was very limited.
Solution:
We made use of lunchtime breaks, and students who had computers at home continued working on their own at home. As for schoolwork, when exam periods approached, the CyberFair instructors would ask our homeroom teacher to help us strengthen our academic subjects by adjusting schedules, or allow us to rest in the classroom during lunchtime to prevent us from falling behind other classmates.

Problem 3: Writing articles
Some students had just joined the CyberFair team, so writing articles was difficult for them. At the beginning, they were not yet clear on how to analyze the topic in depth. Writing requires first understanding the topic content and then clearly expressing it in words, which made article writing particularly challenging for them.
Solution:
We sought advice from senior students and teachers at school, and also used webpages created by previous senior teams as references. Through many discussions and problem-solving sessions, we are now able to write articles smoothly.

IV. Reflections and Insights:
This CyberFair project-based research allowed us to learn a great deal. During the field visits, we gained valuable experiences beyond what is taught in school courses. For example, we learned about the history of mangoes, visited mango orchards, and participated in activities related to mangoes, such as mango-based ice products and canned goods. These are histories that are gradually fading from everyday life. During the process, local staff and owners carefully explained the history of fruit trees and architectural features to us.

In addition, we hope that through this project, visitors can better understand the culture and stories of Pingtung mangoes, and that everyone can gain a deeper understanding of mango history. People from all over the world can also experience the aroma and flavor of Pingtung mangoes.

Throughout the visits, we learned how to communicate with others, respect teammates, work cooperatively as a team, and build friendships with classmates. During the webpage production process, we developed language expression skills, information technology skills, and webpage design techniques.

We would also like to thank the teachers who worked tirelessly alongside us throughout this journey. We hope that by participating in this competition, more people will gain a deeper understanding of Pingtung mangoes, and that their stories will be preserved forever for visitors who come to this place.
