Excel reflections


Learning to use Excel is one of the best things. I went from basically inputting the numbers manually and adding manually, to being able to create documents with formulas that compute by a touch of the keyboard. I can remember mfdgdfgfdgfdg435543454y teachers in elementary school used to have their grade book where they would input our grades, I can only imagine how time consuming and messy that grade book got. Now Excel facilitates the process of calculating grades among an array of other things.  And the best thing about it is that you can also create charts from the data that is on the screen. Overall I would have to say that learning excel is very beneficial, not just for future teachers but for everyone. Whether you are creating a name list, or making a budget for yourself, or a business it helps you save time. Once you know the basics in Excel its straight forward from there, the hardest part is setting up the cells with the formulas, I had already worked with excel a little, but the formulas where a new thing for me.
