Microsoft Excel
Make Sense of Data with Practical, Easy-To-Use Spreadsheets
Simplify classroom planning with Microsoft Office Excel 2003. Keep track of information and share it with students and teachers, balance workloads, and structure projects quickly and easily. Excel is an easy-to-use spreadsheet tool, which students can use to manage assignment frameworks, record data from projects, create graphs and charts, or generate mathematical diagrams quickly and effectively. Teachers can stay on top of student numbers, or plan teaching activities, staff meetings, and sporting events. You can use Excel to help develop students’ logical and mathematical intelligence, using wizards that guide them through the creation of graphs. A random number generator can be used for simulations, such as rolling a dice, that demonstrate probability. Excel can be used in conjunction with other Learning Suite tools to keep on top of planning and organisation. You can import data from a Word document, transfer it seamlessly into an Access database, or use it to upload information onto your Web site using FrontPage.
