Reflection Wk 2

What did I learn and how can I use it in the future?

This weeks work with spreadsheet was a challenge. I have always had a slight fear of excel spreadsheets and this process allowed me to learn and begin to feel some level of comfort with the process. I still feel that I have a lot to learn about spreadsheets and utilizing them as a teacher. I have always felt that it takes me more time to set up a spreadsheet and get it ready to use than it is worth. I now feel that I have gained some skills and feel more likely to use it in the classroom. I do like the information that it can show and the potential to provide a teacher with data that can shape and direct what needs to be re-taught.

I am not sure that I will use a spreadsheet tomorrow at work, but I do see myself spending more time researching and practicing so that I can utilize this tool in my classroom in the future.
