Chase & Jeff’s Final Project
For our final project, we will explore the San Marcos Greenbelt. We plan highlight some of the best spots to escape in the outdoors of our very own backyard that students may not be aware of. With the use of video and other adobe applications, we will create an interactive website rich with our own content as well as content to be continually added by visitors to the site. The inspiration from our site comes from thisisyourland.nationalparks.org, a website created by the National Parks Foundation to raise awareness of our national parks.

Maps will be vital in this project. You can either use Google Maps to allow people to navigate and check out areas, or you could make maps in Flash like we did in this project: http://www.txstatenewsdoc.com/rvr/rubber_map.html.
Think about interviews. You want to get interesting people with stories of their experiences and discuss the impact of local parks. You can discuss issues they could be facing (funding, vandalism, etc).
