The Infamous Lit Review

Moving towards a lit review is completely daunting!  First and foremost, I have to decide on a topic.  I think I have one and I've done a few searches on articles.  I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of research I found considering that my topic is relatively new in the education world.  I am planning to focus on "Bring your Own Device" programs in schools.  I'm excited to research this topic but I'm a little overwhelmed at keeping everything organized.  It was great to see Ronn's excel spreadsheet idea on keeping research organized.  I'm not sure really where to start except to jump into the research.  I'm hoping that I'll find a breadcrumb and be able to follow it to an enlightening idea, concept, whatever!  I think I need to read a couple of articles to start to narrow my topic down and zero in on what I want to discuss.  I also need to figure out which theoretical framework I want to use.  I have no idea what kind of theorist I am yet.  This will be an important part of how my literature review will be formed.  

So next steps:

Search for some articles
Read and narrow down
Review theories
Search more articles with a more specific focus/topic
Create an article organizational chart
Highlight and make notes of some key ideas in the articles
Put all these key ideas in a word doc and start moving around the pieces of the puzzle

So much to do, so little time.
