After using Spreadsheet to create a gradebook and a material aid I think that it can be very useful and helpful in many different situations. The gradebook can be helpful in the classroom because Excel averages the grades, which allows extra time for the teacher to do something else. I would use the Spreadsheet in my classroom because it is easily acessible and it isn’t extremely time consuming.

As a teacher Spreadsheet would be used for several different reasons. The Spreadsheet could be used to organize information and data in an easily readible chart or graph. It could also be used as a graphic organizer when teaching information in class. The advantage of using the calculator in Spreadsheet would be the inconsistency of errors in grades.

The three primary functions of the Spreadsheet are storing, calculating, and presenting information. I do think that the primary functions of Spreadsheets are effective. I think that it would effective to add different guides for studying and worksheets for the students to learn the information in the curriculum.
