With the limited experience that I have with Excel, I have come to one conclusion. There are limitless ways that Excel can be utilized in the classroom, and school district. We see power-points and spreadsheets all the time in budget meetings and they probably use excel as the program.
We can come up with many ways to incorporate excel in the classroom. Here are a few:
1. Creativity and Innovative: Algebra assignments for the week passed out. Instead of begging for the normal way to do math work have them use excel and utilize the tools that can be learned. Making understanding the material much easier. And share it in google docs so the teacher can edit corrections for you.
2. Group projects are the best idea I can think of for being collabrative. For teachers to run ideas for running a department. Principles to communicate with teachers. Even Janitorial staff to make things more efficient would be another.
3. Learn to manage your time well. As school works pile up it is important to set a schedule for everything to make sure that you will be on the dot and will not forget any important task.
4. Show your students how events relate over time by laying out the information along a timeline. Timelines can tell stories, show progress, support themes and ideas, summarize details, and help students visualize trends and understand the big picture
5. Lets be honest, the kids today are bored and this can be a new tool that will broaden the excitement in learning again for them.
