Spreadsheet ETEC 424

Spreadsheets, in my opinion, are used to organize information for charts, activities in classrooms, budgets and etc. I recently used a spreadsheet to do my schedule for all of my colleague's hours and days of the week that they need to work.

Advantages of spreadsheets, again, are great in keeping you organized for any assignment and also has cool and interesting tools and techniques to use when designing your spreadsheet.

According to the Meaningful Learning With Technology Textbook, the three primary functions of spreadsheets are storing, calculating, and presenting information. I think these function are well defined for the use of spreadsheets because those are the basic functions that I use when I am creating my spreadsheet. So I think the author chose a good foundation in chosing these functions.

I would definitely use spreadsheets in my classroom to collaborate my activities with and of course apply to my lesson plans. Spreadsheets are a great technological device to use in the classroom and very easy way to make your class room teaching go more smoothly for you and your students.
