Week Four

I find it very useful, and I think it is very easy to insert clip art. I would definitely use it in the classroom. I thought excel was for accounting type purposes, but I can see how the children would enjoy working with this spreadsheet. It would be a good tool to use to partner the students up with. We usually use spreadsheets as a way to keep attendance and the advantage over a calculator is it is faster and it keeps track of the data. I think the three primary functions mentioned in the book is basically it. I agree that the three primary functions are storing, calculating, and presenting information. Spreadsheets are becoming more advanced than just for accounting purposes, children now construct simulation problems and much more. There are no more functions I can think of at this time.
