The Wonders of Spreadsheets
For the next thirty days I would like to try and use spreadsheet across the curriculum. Before I took this class I associated spreadsheet to numerical use only. Therefore, I thought spreadheet can only be used in math. But I was surprised to learn how versatile is spreadsheet as a computer program. It is perfect for spelling, science, social studies and other content. My students will enjoy organizing data in a flash. Oh my the wonders of technology.

Great! Be sure to review the resources I have for spreadsheets on the Gateway site. "The ABCs to Excel" should give you a lot of ideas. Lots of video tutorials available on the Web.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to use spreadsheets for my sideline businesses. I would like to organize my business, such as, orders, sales, profit and losses. I am more motivated now to use spreadsheets for my classes and for my businesses.
