If you weren't at Shelly's talk today - then you missed a very cool dogfish video that sparked a very cool idea.
Hopefully as a result of this summer's HV workshop we are going to have schools sharing information about their local aquatic habitats on a shared My Maps.
As a result of the pressure to provide content on the bus, we are going to start collecting videos and other media content.
Since it would be great to have the bus content available in some format to teachers online, we can post media that is collected on My Maps based on where it came from (for example - Shelly's dogfish video from wherever in the GoM that she did her research).
This would allow students and teachers to not only explore the GoM by viewing the different aquatic habitats in the watershed - but also by seeing some of the science that is happening throughout the GoM.
Another possible layer would be schools that participated in LabVenture!
Besides collecting the content (which we will already be doing for the bus programming), this is relatively easy to do.
When I set up the account for teachers to share their aquatic habitat info on a My Maps - I'll be sure to set it up in a way that we can easily create different Maps (Science in the GoM), or layers, that can be shared online!

We're hatching a similar idea for Vital Signs - a map of Maine showing every place where people have collected observations via Vital Signs. It would be neat to have the Vital Signs map and the LabVenture! maps be accessible to each others' audiences...
Agreed that the dogfish video was great.
