Reference Area (used four students) 
1. Two students used atlases. 
2. Two students used a geographical cd rom (used a computer w/ no internet connection). 

These two groups worked well together. The atlases were used the most. If you have a smaller class, you could use one to two students at this area. I wouldn't recommend using more than four students. 

Lat/Lon Table (user four students, recommend one to two)
The targeting table brought the information here. Then, both groups of students would find the lat/lon (to double check each other). They would then pass the lat/lon on to the Reference Area (to be checked with the cd rom). 

Submit/Request Area (three to four students)

1. The clip board would go to one student who would find the MET etc. using the Map Web page. They would then fill out the information on the "Photo Entry Form" and submit the information (since there were two clip boards circulating the classroom, two students were always submitting requests). 

2. One student would double check the information being inputted (very important!). 

3. One student was responsible for keeping the paper work in order (this worked great with just one student). This student was responsible for keeping a log book of the photos submitted. They would then report this information to the Image Analysis Area. 

Status Area (four students was too many, recommend two)

1. One student read the information off the SMOC Web pages. 
2. One student put this information on the board (i.e. descending node, day/night....). 

From here, the clip board is then returned to the Target Area. 

Image Analysis Area (used three to four students and found it to be too many)

Didn't utilize this area very well. During the simulations, there was nothing for these students to do, so they never really got practice until the mission. This area was hard to prepare for. During the mission, two students checked the Photo List Web page for information on their photo submissions. They would then go back to the log book and update the information (i.e. rejected photos). If the photo was taken they would mark it on a map in front of the class room with a push pin.
