Transduction Justification

For my inquiry essay, I inquired about what about websites makes its visitors keep coming back.  Given my focal point of my inquiries was regarding websites, I thought it would be a wise decision to create a website for the digital remix project.  I felt that a website would be the easiest form to convey my inquiries since I would be able to break up my different thoughts within my essay into different web pages on the website.  In order to make an effective website, and not appear that I simply rewrote my essay, I plan on adding graphics that are representative of my inquiry essay to make it appear like a cohesive website. 
            However, as I began the transduction of my essay, I realized that there was limited potential to expand my inquiries in my original essay.  Therefore, I switched my topic to the effectiveness of computer simulations in academics.  While the subject of this inquiry is not as directly related as the previous inquiry, using a website would emphasize the role that computers play in our lives.  Increasingly, our lives are becoming dependent on computers.  The prevalence of simulations as teaching tools is growing in academics.  We are using these simulations to understand the compounding effects that certain actions have in the real world, and not the theoretical world.  Since I will draw on examples from various classes and different areas of academics, it would be beneficial to make a website.  It is a methodological way to group and box information so that information and inquiries can be conveyed to the audience successfully.
