Spreadsheets

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?

I think spreadsheets are a an easy useful tool that make things easier. Yes, I would use a spreadsheet in my classroom because it would be easy to give my students a copy of there grades so that they could be able to see what they need to work towards.

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 spreadsheets to keep things organized and in order. Using a spreadsheet you can easily see what you have calculated, seeing mistakes would be easier also. I think the 3 functions cover everything, but you may need to add to have a back-up either saved on a jump-drive or have a hard paper copy.
