Mr.Akihiro
Inoue,
This project began with a sudden call that encouraged us to participate in "HARIMA LOCAL HISTORY BY KIDS Program" as a part of the Opening Festival of Harima Science Park Town. As I had been interested in Internet, I had easily accepted to join this project and found that there were lots of troubles, such like " I didn't have enough knowledge and skills" nor even software to publish the homepage. Besides them, we couldn't start the project in the first term, because our school building was under repair then and we were very busy to prepare for move of office or classrooms until the end of summer vacation. But we were full of hope and on september when the second term began, we finally started this project to publish our own commemorative home page. We visited historical sites nearby to take photos with the digital camera for two days. We inputted the photo data into floppy disks, then we went to our neighborhood school, Rikan Elementary School, where a teacher was very good at PCs and kindly taught us how to make our home page. My pupils merrily worked hard on deciding the visiting sites for photos, taking photos and writing comments. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Mr.Fukunaga, a teacher in charge of health education, who worked together with pupils, and to Mr.Ogawa, a fellow teacher of Rikan Elementary School, who kindly taught us the fundamentals of home page. When I saw our home page first time, I was very happy indeed and I realized that it's wonderful for us to cooperate together to achieve something even if it's not so big. It was the best harvest that we could share the moment to hand down our own masterpiece with vivid and active pupils. From now on, we would like to study further and try to make various new home pages together. Lastly again I would like to say thank you very much for giving us a wonderful opportunity. |
