How can we use the 3-d internet to educate about the lake and to get people out of their homes?

 

Actual GPS cordinates of 3-d simulation where people can go under lake and view ship wrecks,

 

Forum like wiki where people can share real time events they see on the lake and talk about what they are and hope to make change.

Example gasoline coming out of the lake sand line.

 

Combine wiki and real time sitings.

Person can go to their home location and view somthing related to the lake.

 

Track the entire watershed on line because teachers who teach the Lake Chmaplian Basin Unit who live in the outskirts could benefit from a website that virtualy tracks the water flow in and around the basin.Also track the sewer system, waste water on visual maps online.

Could ECHO absorb the cell phone expense - roughly 25 cents per "send" or would it be enough to have people make this as a donation

 

Storyboards of elderly memories of the lake and lake activities - like the Landscapes photo comparison from UVM Geology Dept - link stories to images
