Alternative.energy is an interactive forum where students and teachers can come to learn about alternative energies. Energies of the present are becoming endangered and may no longer be able to provide us with the one thing we rely on so heavily, electricity. With new and improved technologies, energy production is becoming more efficient and environmentally friendly. The purpose of this site is to present these alternatives to students and teachers, and evaluate them on various criteria. This site has also been developed to allow the audience to take part in the search for the "best" energy source. A forum has been put into place so that students can give their opinions. Also there has been an interactive quiz designed to encourage the learning of these alternatives. "Bad Acid", a cartoon character, has been added to the site to provide interactive and entertaining tours of the web site and its content. These tours equal twenty minutes of animated learning.
