• Activity Overview Video: "Hyperlinking Partnership"
  In this video case study, teacher David Pratt's high school CADD students are brought together with two other teams: the new staff of the "Hometown Perry, Iowa" museum; the employees of Wetherell, Ericsson, and Leusink Architects. This meeting was critical to involve students in the professional world of architects and museum specialists in order for them to appreciate and understand the demands and potential of technology. The intent of this meeting was to provide a unique collaboration that would enhance their knowledge of architecture and design, require them to develop and organize resources, work with others, and acquire and evaluate information.
