This is the PowerPoint presentation for the first phase of a two phase project. In this phase we investigated a specific school or school district and gave an overview of the technology that was in place there.

Phase Two
Here is the PowerPoint presentation for the second phase of a two phase project. In this phase I took one aspect I found in Phase One and investigated it further. I encountered the use of WebQuests through my observations in Phase One. For Phase Two I researched the functions of a WebQuest and analyzed how it affected learning using the Media for Inquiry, Communication, Construction, and Expression Taxonomy developed by Bertram Bruce and James Levin.
