<div>Hi everyone, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My students are going okay with making charts for Infographics using the free online tools in Infogram, Piktochart, Venngage, Canva, and Easelly. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, they are very unclear on how to make a survey that asks the right questions to get the data needed for some meaningful analysis and good infographics. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So we are doing an exercise where we begin with the end in mind, by looking at a PPT (attached) of some survey results, and reverse engineering to figure out what would be the correct questions to ask in the Survey to obtain this data. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The plan is that from this exercise we come up with something like this for the survey questions: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Computer Gaming Survey </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In this investigation we want to find out the typical gaming habits of a range of people of different ages. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(Note that the free version of Survey Monkey limits us to 10 questions) </div>
