spreadsheet post

I really like using excel to create a gradebook. I thin it is really useful because you can use functions to take the grades and automatically calculate them. Once you learn how to use excell it is alot faster doing grades than using a calculator. I would say 99% of teachers do grades this way now instead of a gradebook and calculator, but that is just my guess. Not just in the teaching field but anything that has to do with calculating numbers i think excell speeds it up. I would use it to do grades in my classroom and also teach my students to use it.
Spreadsheets have 3 primary functions-Storing , calculating and presenting data. With these three options you can do a number of things. Spreadsheets are good for making graphs where people can visualize data or by using numbers so an accountant could keep track of money.
