  · The target audience for your survey is students studying on your campus.

2-  Get at least 30 students to complete your survey.

5- Interpret and create a presentation on your findings (using MS PowerPoint or Prezi). 
Your presentation must include your survey questions, the response graph and answer the following questions:
· What did the survey show in terms of accessibility? 
· Did all students surveyed have access to the Internet outside of campus? 
· If so, what was the most common means of access?
· If not, why do you think this is the case?
· Did socio-economic factors play a role in your findings? 
· Did everyone have the same level of skill in using technology?
· Was there a correlation between the level of access available and skills? 
· Create a blog entry titled Digital Access, provide a link to the online survey, and attach the        graphs and PowerPoint presentation.
Question 3, 4 and 5 is under a separate post titled Digital Access: Presentation of findings
