EXCEL



This week in one of my other classes we were asked to pick a topic to do a large group unit on. My group picked A Healthy Lifestyle and I specifically chose to do Physical Fitness. I had a great idea of how to integrate technology into this lesson, and it incorporates an Excel Spreadsheet. I wanted to have my students take turns using a pedometer and recording their results on a class spreadsheet. We would create this spreadsheet together and use columns such as:



Using this spreadsheet, we could determine how many steps we walked as a class, or how many minutes we spent exercising.

Spreadsheets can also be good for recording scientific data, total books read independently or even make job assignments. I like using Excel a lot!
