Our primary purpose was to do research and learn about Prohibition.  We learned a lot about teamwork by working together. We met at least once a week since October and our team has worked over 400 hours on this project.  Each week we had a facilitator and a note taker. Every week we would rotate the assignments to different people. We had a project plan and documented what we needed to do for each meeting.  We had an issues log which kept track of issues and questions that we had for our advisor.  We learned how to get permissions for pictures, and also learned about copyright laws. We learned how to use web tools on our own with no previous knowledge.  Our instructor, Cathy Richarde, provided strong guidance and motivation during this project.

Gary: I have had fun researching Prohibition and learning how to build a website with my friends for our History class. I have learned about planning a project and working as a team.  I am especially proud of how we learned web tools on our own and taught each other how to use them.

Evan: I was excited when I heard there was going to be a contest for building a website. I thought it was a fun and helpful, new experience, and indeed it was. I learned how to use a variety of web tools, and also learned a lot about the origins of Prohibition. This was a fun project that I enjoyed working on with my friends.

David: I did not know anything about web design before I started this project, but now I think that I could build a (basic) website on my own.  I really enjoyed learning about prohibition and working with such a close group.  I liked working with the web tools and look forward to using them again in the near future.

Andrew: I have enjoyed working with my friends on this project. I learned how to use  web tools and I had no previous experience with these tools. I learned a lot about Prohibition and would like to learn even more.
