SPREADSHEET

After using Spreadsheet creating a gradebook and a material aid, what do you think about Spreadsheet? Is it useful? Would you use it in your classroom?

After using spreadsheet to create a gradebook and material aid, I feel as though this program provides a lot of potential for teacher usage. It is a lot easier to save grades on a computer than to hand-write them. Several material aids can be used to enhance student learning: cross-word puzzles, word-searches, matching, etc. I will definately use excel, but I hope I can learn the program better to fully use its functions and possibilities.

As a teacher, why do we use Spreadsheet? What is the advantage of a Spreadsheet over a calculator? According to the textbook, it mentions the three primary functions of Spreadsheets. What do you think about them? Can you think of something else?

We use spreadsheet as educators to engage our students in learning, create fun-filled activities, and post our students' grades. A spreadsheet documents grades-averages, mean, median, etc. automatically AND you do not have to start over for each individual calculation. I think the three primary functions of spreadsheet coincide perfectly with what the textbook reveals. Spreadsheets can help in material aids, keep as a gradebook, create charts and graphs, and preserve data, among many other possibilities. There are probably several other functions I am currently unaware of!!
