Real-Time Locating Systems

Okay, here are the categories we can split it up into. Haley and I are going to split the largest category
and then you all can decide which one you want to do, or you can share one, whichever. Or, if you have
another idea to add as a category that we can talk about in relation to the topic you can do that. I also
figured out how to do audio on a power point so if you all just want to individually do your part with a
few slides for each person then send to me with the reference then I will put together the power point. I
will show yall tomorrow in class on one of our breaks tomorrow how to do the audio on a power point
if you dont know how. If everyone could just let me know by tomorrow what category you want to do
and who or if you are splitting it with someone then that would be great. Also Im going to attach to this
document the references I have found about the topic that you can look through and use if you want to
find information about the category.
So, here are the categories I have so far, please feel free to add your own as long as it is different
enough from the others that we can have enough info.

Description of Real-Time Locating Systems (What it is)This one will for sure probably need to
be done by two people together because it will be several slides on description of the actual
technology
Monetary/Cost benefits and/or disadvantages
Statistics behind success and/or failure of the use of RTLS
Medical Benefitswhich me and Haley will split, since it will probably be a larger section
because that is basically the centered focus of the project

References you all can look through and use. Just copy and paste the article title into Ebsco or Cinahl or
one of the good popular databases on Troys library website and you will find the articles.

See yall tomorrow, and Im sorry I didnt get this done this weekend, but I hope this helps some and
maybe we can go off of this!
