表4-19 國際志工省思札記

attending UC Berkeley and planning to study public health

….The students were very enthusiastic about using Google Earth. We each showed the

students different parts of the world, such as USA, Rome, Australia, Japan, and even their hometown of Lidao! Something I recognized was the students knew a lot of

Taiwan's Baseball player, Wang Chien Ming, who plays for the New York Yankees. I find that it's important for Taiwan people to make a significant impact outside of Taiwan, so that students will have a better knowledge about the outside world.

…We, the volunteers, were not suppose to help the students draw. We could only give them some advice and tips for the drawings. In my small group, the children drew the

7 continents and drew some cute animals to represent different countries.

Today we helped children use Google Earth. It was quite interesting seeing them get

excited when they found the right continent or country. I had fun helping them find the

countries and show them parts of the world that they have never seen before. I hope that they will continue to learn more about the world and possibly use Google Earth to learn about the different cultures, landmarks, and geography of the world.

The children really needed contact with others from the outside world. I had many conversations with the children about lifestyles in America. There was like a cultural exchange between the two of us.

…Another key point I would like to make is that the students were very fond of Taiwan celebrities in outside countries such as Wang Chien Ming. When we used the

Google Earth program, when we asked the children to locate America, many of the students could locate America, more specifically the New York area. The students

knew about the popular Taiwan baseball player, Wang Chien Ming, who plays for the New York Yankees. …

Another point I noticed in the students of Lidao was that the students as a whole were more connected. Since most or all of them were from the Bunun tribe, they are like one huge family. They look after each other when one is in need and care for one of another. However, with that said, they still do get in some conflicts and fights. The

children also seemed more excited and thrilled to learn compared to the students in DarWan church. On the other hand, since they were more enthusiastic, they were

much harder to control. Even though the students were loud and sometimes obnoxious, they were fun to work with.

We also taught the kids there about Google Earth, taught them English songs and terms. We also performed a play about Jonah with the kids. The kids at the church

were more normal, they did not seem as interested as the Lidao kids that we came

from America. The older kids there were very good at playing the drums, piano, guitar

and were also good singers. Because they live closer to the city and they were not isolated in the mountains like the Lidao kids, they were more the like the kids today.

Elton

15 歲 Diamond Bar High School

… I was in group one which first went to the computer classroom to teach the children about the world’s geography and landmarks through the use of the software Google©

Earth. They were also given a worksheet by Mr. Huang. I helped one of the children to use it. Some of them had a hard time finding the location due to their lack of

knowledge of the world. However, they all grasped the geography of this world at the end of the session.

…We later made a giant map with our group assigned to us. It did not have to be accurate but it had to be artistic. With the new found knowledge from Google© Earth,

the children now understand more about the world’s geography. My group’s children,

Tou Shen and Hao Wei, they thought each continent had a shape of a animal, so they drew the continents with a similarity to the animals. We had colored and added more objects and animals into the map. Later, we showed off all of our maps.

…The next day, we went to the Darwan Church. …The computer course was approximate towards the subjects we taught in Lidao. All the volunteers grouped up with a couple of children to teach them how to use Google© Earth. The only thing that was a little bit different was that the children had religious beliefs. Mr. Huang’s

course also included the skills of locating Biblical locations. It would be logical to think that our time at Lidao has taught us that teaching the children songs would be very smart. So revisions of the computer course were made to the computer course.

由國際志工的心得中可以歸納出幾點現象：

1. 志工們以英文的「enthusiastic」、「excited」來形容孩子們學習Google Earth的心 情，並表達自己在協助他們找尋國家或地標時，感到「interesting」，可見整個 教學的過程充滿了良性的互動。

2. 起初學童因為既有地理知識的匱乏，無法正確指出相關的地點位置，但在學習 Google Earth之後，已經能夠掌握了，志工並期望孩子能多利用這套軟體，對 未來的學習可以有幫助。
