Context
For this artifact, I made a spreadsheet using Microsoft Excel. It included data such as student's names, test grades, homework grades, final exam, and final grades. I put in formulas to calculate averages. You can use this for all grades as a tool to keep yourself organized. I made two charts using the data I typed in comparing two different types of information. I copied part of the spreadsheet to clipboard in order to copy it onto a short letter in Microsoft Word.
Impact
As a teacher, I will use spreadsheets all the time to average grades, stay organized, teach students how to use them, collect data, etc...
