EDUC 730 - Day 1

Well today we had our first class and just in case Dr. Dunn is reading this blog, class was AMAZING, ENERGIZING, and quite frankly the greatest class of all time!  I especially liked our brief discussion on nano robots being injected into cancer patients.  If we are really that far along then how close are we to slowing aging to the point where we are able to live for hundreds of years?  Science fiction stuff, but still pretty interesting.

Now to the big event of the day - Review of Literature (ROLA) Presentations!  From what I understand from our group discussion with Dr. Dunn, the ROLA should start very broad and logically move into a more focused direction that leads readers to the study question(s) to be answered.  Below is the beginning of our outline for our mobile technology / mobile learning topic.  Any feedback would be great...
