This document outlines a 10-week plan for a student's Independent Research Project (IRP) investigating how technology impacts education. In the first 2 weeks, the student will choose a topic, create a hypothesis that technology is distracting, and select research methods. They will then present their topic and survey groups in weeks 3-8 to collect primary data on distraction. In weeks 9-10, the student will analyze the primary survey data, interpret results, and finalize their IRP report using secondary sources like statistics and computer websites.
