Tech Lit, Periods 6 & 8: New Invention

Companies create surveys in order to obtain data about what their potential (or current) customers want in new products, upgrades, and other feedback. After customers submit their surveys, the results/data of the survey are analyzed (numbers are crunched). Online surveys are most popular because the results are all already stored into a database and requires no human data entry. Survey Monkey and Google Forms are 2 of the more popular survey building websites.

Videos:
1) Google Docs in Plain English
2) Quick & Easy Forms with Google Docs
3) Using Forms in Google Docs

Your goal is to create a user survey of a NEW invention of a product, service, or event (or a MAJOR improvement on an existing product). What are you creating? What features would you like to see? Your goal is to create a brand new product. Before you begin, you need to know what your customers want! (This project will be done in pairs)

1) Create a survey form on your new product that includes specific innovative features not available in current products. Before you create the survey, use Google Docs to brainstorm with your partner about what your survey will include. Think of your target market first! Who will be using your product?
2) Once you begin creating the survey, you must first drag it your Web 2.0 shared folder so I can view and also share it with your partner.
3) Make sure you obtain the demographics of your population with a few questions about age range, gender, etc. You can also about the # of computers and mobile devices in the household in addition to other pertinent data that will assist you with your new product.
4) You must ask at least 6 questions relating to your product for a minimum of 10 survey questions. You will also use at least 5 of the 9 question types.
5) Each partner must take an active roll in the survey design making sure they are logged in under their own name to verify work completed.
6) Once the survey is done, you will embed it on one of your blogs and invite class members, family, friends, to take your survey. Try and get a minimum of 20 responses.

Be creative! Come up with a unique product name! Be positive and come up with the "better" widget! ;)
This survey will be completed this week and users can begin taking your survey once I approve it and give you the OK to post it! If there are any questions, please post them here or email me.

Tech Lit: Spreadsheet Charts

Do Now:

Create a new sheet on your existing spreadsheet and rename it:
Cell Phone Providers
Enter the following starting at A2 working down the column and the #'s go in column b:

Sprint
Verizon
AT&T
T-Mobile
Other

Take a class vote on which providers students use and enter the total #'s in the next column. If you do not have a cell phone, just choose a company you like!

Then create a pie chart on the same sheet. Next create a bar graph on a new sheet.

Make sure you use the same spreadsheet so I can check it.
