Reflection - Survey/Infographic
Initially, I was nervous to create my own survey. I find them to be slightly personal when you are making them in regards to your personal field of study. I had some trouble coming up with questions that made sense and flowed with the survey. It took some time but I think they turned out OK.
During the research for the Annotated Bibliography assignment, my research question was in specific relation to different kinds of Augmentative and Alternative Communication devices. For this project, however, I changed my scope just a bit. I geared my survey more towards what the general population knows about technology and how important it is.
Overall, my survey received 89 responses! I was blown away! I originally posted the link to the survey on my Facebook page and welcomed others to share it as well. Five of my friends shared it and many of their friends also participated. I also posted the link on my personal twitter account. Most of the people who responded were from Minnesota, as expected, but I also had participants from New York and even Hawaii! I never expected my survey to make it that far.
I had a lot of fun creating my infographic because it's such a unique process. I was able to play around with the websites and their tools. I liked being able to pick and choose which information was displayed and how to display it. I preferred Piktochart because I had an easier time rearranging things to make them the way I wanted.
If I had to do this assignment again, I would probably try to create more specific questions but I think the data I got was helpful too. Now I know how to do this and I could create another infographic in the future.
