Educational Game from the 90's (Solved)

Does anyone remember a game back in the 90's. I was in grade school at the time.

The premise is you are a kid detective with a camera, and you walk through the school to the music from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" looking for clues about the location of robots, and when you find them in the school you take their picture and trap them.

I remember the main character wore a baseball cap and a blue/green jacket with the collar popped up so that his face was all shadow, like a BlackMage.

Anyone think of anything?

I think there was a sequal with the same character, but it was math instead of grammar.

    Google brought me this.
    The Master of Mischief is planning on making Shady Glen School disappear! He has invented disappearing paint, and turned five paint brushes into robots to paint the school at midnight. The Master of Mischief himself is disguised as a robot, and it is your job to find him. Hidden throughout the school are clues which reveal his whereabouts. Robots are placed in the school to slow your progress, some of which may even contain clues themselves. You carry a camera with you to take a picture and examine dangerous robots closer.

    It appears to be Abandon ware, available here.

    The main character sounds like the one from Gizmos & Gadgets.
