Spreadsheets
A spread sheet is a grid consisting of cells making up rows and columns. Spreadsheets are mainly used for storing, calculating, and presenting information (Jonassen, 2006). Information put into the cells can be numbers or text. Formulas can be entered into the cell to manipulate numbers from other cells (Jonassen, 2006). Critical thinking is necessary to create these formulas for example: finding the .um of B2, B3, B4, and B5 or finding the averaged. The data can be manipulated into charts, graphs, and tables only with in-depth knowledge and calculations of the data.

Hi Ashley,
I feel the Microsoft Excel has the similar function as the spread sheet, such as storing, function calculating, manipulating data of different unit into charts/table/graph, etc. I had used Excel design salary form.
After reading you explaination of Spreadsheet, I think it can be used to calculate students' GPA and make GPA curve. What do you think of the educational implementation of Spreadsheet?
