Excel Spreadsheets

After using Microsoft Excel for a gradebook and a material aid, I found it very beneficial and very useful. I would definitely use it in my classroom as a gradebook and also to make charts, graphs, and making math worksheets. It's very useful when you have a lot of data you need to calculate.

As teachers we use spreadsheets as visual representations to further explain our content's topic. We also will use it frequently for a gradebook. It has many advantages over a calculator because you can attach a name with the grades and do averages very quickly. You can also give a title to each grade to show your students what they made on which assignment.
