Spreadsheets

Today, we learned how to use spreadsheets both in Word, and on Google Docs. What was hard for me was using a Mac...everything is different. But I really like learning how to do it. I also really like GoogleDocs, because sometimes you get to a computer that doesn't have any kind of word processor, or spreadsheet program. So it is great to be able to use, and save it to edit later. We also learned how to create a survey and post it to a blog, which is why there is one. :) I would use this in my classroom for them to learn how to record data for different class projects or other activities we are doing. I really liked the activity that we did with the pennies, because it teaches probability, and it is a pretty easy assignment that they can do.
