Excel

In my technology class we covered the uses that the Excel software program has. I have been using excel for many years now, but this was the first time I was using it to make student-friendly things! I had no idea that there was so much more to Excel than boring spreadsheets. I think Excel is a very convenient application that deserves to be given a second look. It can be very functional if used properly, for example, it can help students and teachers create a budget, display charts and graphs that can be easily manipulated, create different crossword puzzles depending on the student level, seat charts, time lines and more. In addition, it is very flexible as far as sizing, fonts, colors and templates. I also believe this program can be used by students of all ages and all intelligences. It is easy to create differentiated material and allows the students to go at their own pace.
