Over the course of the project (and beyond) we will create an online database of VFEs.  How should it be structured?  What fields should be included?  These are questions we are just starting to work on.  Below is a small and incomplete mock-up that offers some initial responses to those questions.

You can also see the database on its own page here. 

Some of what will go into the database is found on the Virtual Field Experience page from the last grant’s website. 

New VFEs are under development now. 

1. The online database of VFEs is being built now.  A tentative format, with a growing list of VFEs is both below and found here (without frames). 
   

2. Fall Brook Falls, near Geneseo, New York shows what one teacher might be able to put together in the course of a workshop of a couple of days.  In a workshop we’d hopefully have many teachers each creating a unique representation of a unique feature or process within the same geographic area.  The set of creations could then be weaved together in Google Earth, making an extensive VFE.
   

3. Coming in the summer of 2009:
   

4. The Niagara Whirlpool (the partially complete VFE is linked below)
   

5. Mt. Marcy (in New York’s Adirondack Park)
   

6. Glacier National Park
   

7. The Cascade Mountains
