This site was created as part of the Geo-Literacy Project by the students of Mrs. La Mar's 2002-03 third grade class. The content, photographs, object rotations and some of the Virtual Reality movies were created by the students. Mrs. La Mar took a few of the photographs and took the QTVR photographs. The students used a variety of software in class to create the movies.

The students used Dreamweaver 3.0 to create the web site. Mrs. La Mar, Mrs. Ferguson and many parents assisted with the site design. The site design was improved by Linda Ferguson and the Geo-Literacy team of teachers to make accessing the site easier for students and the community. We used FrontPage 2003 to add navigation while leaving the student work intact.
