Research Project Progress Report: Week 2

        This week I went through to pick the sources I wanted to mainly use and started my annotated bibliography for them. I learned that I didn't have as much usable sources as I thought I did so I had to go back and look for more. A challenge that I'm facing is being able to come up with different types of sources. The easiest ones that might actually have relevant information are usually articles online. I'm hoping to find at least a few video sources like a documentary or an interview to add variety to my sources. A new question that emerged is what types of sources could I actually find that would relate to this topic that doesn't just include articles? My goals for this upcoming week is to find the last few sources I need to add variety and finish my annotated bibliography with them. I will also need to make sure that in the end my annotated bibliography is strong enough for me to do my outline for Monday next week.

Research Project Progress Report: Week 1

1. This week I found several sources from the opposing views database. From looking through these sources I learned that a lot of sub topics within "addiction to technology" have contrasting ideas. For example, I was able to find an article on how internet can disrupt learning as well as an article on how internet can improve learning. A challenge I faced was finding specific sources for my topic considering it's pretty broad and general. This lead me to question what it is that I want to focus on within the "addiction to technology" topic because it can mean a lot of different things and just searching for sources through the key phrase "addiction to technology" does not get me down on any specific path to take with my research. My goals for next week will be to possibly find a few more sources and then weed through all the ones I feel aren't really what i'm trying to focus on. Hopefully through eliminating and grouping sources I'll be able to get a better sense of a specific focus and a more direct path that I want to take in continuing my research.
