The purpose of this Interactive Qualifying Project was to examine the integration of a new technology into a closed social structure. This new technology is the World Wide Web. This project was carried out at the Blackstone Regional Vocational Technical High School in Upton, MA, during the Worcester Polytechnic Institute 1997­-98 academic year. We examined its social impact on the school and made recommendations on how to reach its greatest potential
