SPREADSHEET Q'S

I think that the spreadsheet is an awesome tool for the teacher. It is basically just a grid that can perform claculations in numerous cells and rows. It is very useful because it allows the teacher to get the results for a students average, a class's tests average, as well as many other commands. It allows the teacher to work far more quickly and with fewer errors. I would certainly use it in my classroom because it is very helpful. It makes the gradebook far less stressul, and I know I will always have it in my bag of tricks.

As a teacher the most useful reason for using it is the gradebook. As I have alrady mentioned it allows the teacher to perform many calculations with one click of the mouse. Another reason is for problem solving reasons, and to construct some worksheet that are relevant to the topica t sudy. It is much better than using a calculator because it can calculate the entire classrooms results far quicker. I think that the three preimary sources are vert helpful. I do have another function whcihis a planner. It would look much like a calendar but would have a space for assignments and due dates. I think that this would help each student be acountable.
