Using Excel with Adult Learners

Page history last edited by Leecy Wise 1 year, 4 months ago

Excel is one of the richest learning applications available for teachers and students. Learners can create exciting interaction with very little knowledge about all of the spreadsheet possibilities. Excel is addictive, so be careful. Once you get started, you may not want to stop!

Following are just a few stites to get your started. At the bottom, I've also added some of the Excel projects that we covered in our Lunch and Learn session.

http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/file/ - There are some great downloads here, including developing bingo cards!
http://www.northcanton.sparcc.org/~technology/excel/index.html - Meeting Ohio K-12 standards. This site has tutorials and great spreadsheets that you can adapt to your own students. Really fun.
http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/ - What a hoot? Browse through the categories and find those your students need or want the most! Hundreds of spreadsheet templates are there for downloading.. Want a budget? It's there. Can you imagine it? It's there. The site has dozens of its own, but it also links to other sites with free templates, including the wealth of materials at Microsoft. I do believe in reinventing the wheel sometimes since that's how I often learn. On the other hand, if you find a good template, study its features and teach your students to recreate it!
