=CJSHS Environmental Science= = Transportation Project =

After playing a computer game called [|ExtraOrdinary Road Trip (XRT)], Mrs. Krichbaum's Environmental Science Class created this wiki on transportation. Below are the links to each person or group's page. Transportation breaks into many subtopics which are very interconnected. Presenting this information on the web enhances this interconnectivity. Using a WEB 2.0 format like the wiki facilitates the collaborative component of this project and would even allow others outside of the group to have input and/or contribute. The subtopics for this transportation project can be found in the menu on the left and below:
 * Air pollution,
 * Bike Paths,
 * Biofuels,
 * Cortland Public Transportation,
 * Hydrogen Fuel Cells,
 * NYS Highspeed Rail,
 * Oil Industries,
 * Other Countries,
 * Plug-in Electric Cars,
 * Solar cars,
 * Vehicle Maintenance

The links for each page will take you to a discussion of the topic. The task of this project is to put all the information together as one through a wiki that conveys all needed information about the topics. For example the public transportation page will contain information about the history of public transporttion in Cortland but also ideas on how to make the current form of public transportation more accessible and easier for citizens to use. The idea behind this project was that everyone has something within transporttion that interested them. Whether it was alternative fuels, or forms of public transportation, or even new modern technology, everyone haa something that they were interested in and could put a lot of thought into it. This project is our way of displaying this information that we have been writing about in our blogs for the past year.
