Spreadsheet

I like Microsoft Excel. I think that being able to use a spreadsheet is very useful because you can do many different things with it. I will definately use this program in my classroom, not only for grading purposes but also for creating worksheets and examples.

We use spread sheet for many different things, as mentioned earlier, you can keep your grades on excel or create worksheets, notes, or outline. A spreadsheet is better than a calculator because the fill down function allows the computer to calculate all the work rather than the teacher having to enter in all the different numbers and symbols. The three funtions mentioned in the book were storing, calculating and presenting information. All of these things are very important when trying to manage a classroom. If i had to come up with another function, i would say creating.
