Spreadsheet

I like to use a spreadsheet. I use them for my classes, keeping a budget, balancing the checkbook, and eventually I will use it in my classroom. I believe it is very useful because everything is in order and has a place. An outline can be made using word but a calculations outline is hard to follow. By using spreadsheet all the data is nicely organized in on spot.

Many teachers use spreadsheet when they make a grade book. A lot of teachers have to use a manual book so if files are lost of if the computer crashes, but by using a spreadsheet the teacher can quickly put in grades, tally them up, and if needed email information to parents or other teachers. By using a spreadsheet to calculate numbers users can simply add a formula to the columns and the computer does the tallying. With a calculator, the user would have to go in by hand and add all the number together and calculate them together themselves. I agree with the three points from the textbook. A spreadsheet can have more uses but those are the main ones that I too use it for.
