free write reflection

For project web i haven't done much yet. I still have a lot of research to do. I'm still debating on my research question and whether i should change it or not. So far I've tried to go to different cites to find some articles about apps and how  they are helpful in the classroom. i might change my research question to, "should companies start making apps specifically for college students to help them with assignments?". My ideal essay should have more to argue then what i have so far so i will need to either find a new topic or just find a reliable source that can give me all kinds of information. if anyone has any ideas on a research topic that has to do with technology and students please comment and let me know. i would appreciate the help!
