Students could create a survey for a store owner to see how much need there is for a specific product and then stock his/her store appropriately (not wanting to under or over stock-hopes to get the most income with least expenses).  Say the store owner is looking at dog food or cat food supplies.  Students can create a survey in Doodle to come up with a sample of the town they live in to see how many dog owners or cat owners there are out of the number of people surveyed (or maybe how many people within a 10 mile radius of the store) from the town.  They could predict how many people out of the town of 3700 people need dog or cat supplies and what type. They could find out how many would not buy store bought food or how many stores are in the area that would be supplying dog and cat supplies.  They could survey to find out what brand of foods are preferred and what percentages of each so the owner would know how much is needed of each.
Pairs of students could then present their findings in a Google doc.
All this would require collecting, organizing, analyzing, evaluating, and summarizing their findings with the help of the tech tools.
