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.
