During research, I found a school that uses spreadsheets in their classroom lessons. Moreover, the school is named Pattie Elementary School. The teacher teaches the class how to enter data in Microsoft Excel;while, in lab. The class enter data in Excel based on Civil War battles. However, the teacher reads the different battles to the students and they enter it into the computer. The students make bar graphs by utilizing the mouse by dragging the mouse over the data and clicking on the wizard of graphing.
Next, the students uses the auto sum feature to tell the teacher the total number of battles that occurred. Then, the students make a Pie chart with the information by putting in the percentages for the different Civil War battles. Consequently, I thought that this assignment that was given to the students was great because it made learning about history fun.
