Excel in a different light.

Excel is a wonderful tool that teachers can use as a part of their arsenal. Excel has many more uses than just the boring old spreadsheet. In the classroom teachers can have their students use Excel to create timeliness, pictographs, as well as game boards. With all these different applications comes along countless activities that the teacher can use. For instance I mentioned game boards, game boards could be used in a specific content area to offer another outlet for students to learn a topic thats being covered. Or the teacher could use this as a project and have the students come up with and design their on game and present it to the class. I believe that Excel should break away from the office setting and step into the classroom because it offers more than just spreadsheets to both teachers and students alike.
