Spreadsheet Awesomeness

I used to think of spreadsheet as something that you organize numbers or grades with. I now realize spreadsheet is much more than that. While making my material aid today, I used the matching aid. You can take a different pictures, jumble them up, and make a matching game out of it on spreadsheet. Dude, that is fun for anyone! I even had fun making the matching worksheet. You can also make statistics charts on spreadsheet or make stimulations of problems to show your students. I would use spreadsheet in my class room to give my students a more organized view of whatever it is that I am teaching them. It is a very useful program. I think you can make more interesting games and show your class things on spreadsheet that they actually find amusing or worth their time.

I believe that we use spreadsheet to keep records, store information, or to present information. For example with the matching game I made, it will help a student identify and match related pictures. It gives your student a mental note of what they are looking at. I realize that spreadsheets are for storing, calculating, and presenting information but, I also think they are good for learning new things by playing with the program. If you sat at your computer and messed around with spreadsheet long enough you could discover many different functions that it includes. People can use spreadsheet for math, english, science, or history. It is virtually useful for any subject.
