REFLECTION: Spreadsheets, better known as the Microsoft program EXCEL is an application that can be used both in my personal and professional life. The spreadsheet is a tool that can be used for accounting, budgeting, charting,collecting and keeping data on my students.

As a 7th grade EC Resource teacher the computer is a valuable tool that can be used with my students. The NC Standard Course of Study for computer/technology skills, grade 7, focuses on the use of using formulas in a spreadsheet. Objective 1.06 states students should demonstrate knowledge of why data bases are used to collect, organize, and report information in a variety of setting and 1.07 states students shouls use knowledge of databases terms/concepts, functions, and operations to descrive and explain content area findings.

Students can use this application in the math classroom to understand measures of central tendency, computing the mean of a range of numbers. The spreadsheet application will allow students the opportunity to create a formula and compute the outcome. As a teacher, I can use the spreadsheet application to tract student's reading rates in a curriculum based assessment. In my personal like, spreadsheets can be used to help me keep track of my montly budget.
