Week 3

Excel can help organize various items within the classroom. A few ways in which Excel can be used to benefit the teacher and the students are:
1. it can be used the count the attendance within the classroom or even the different classes within that grade (all depending on how big the schools was and the amount of classes per grade)
2. If the teacher utilized some kind of point system, using excel can help keep traack of the amount of points everyone has
3. If the teacher is doing a health lesson, use the spreadsheet for the calculation of fats, calories,protein, etc for the meals that are eaten
4. Teacher can calculate their grades instead of doing them by hand
5. Measure the amount of rainfall/snow within a time period and design a chart to see the increase/decrease over the times


Microsoft or Google Docs
I'm not really an expert on either software.  I just barely know how to type and maneuver simple task on Microsoft. So with me having to chose which one I'd rather prefer is kind of hard. They both have their pros and cons.  With Microsoft you have access to developing spreadsheet with using Excel but with Google Docs there is the luxury of being able to share documents with various people at one time which makes it a lot more simpler to engage in group projects without having to be in the same room.
