Spreadsheets

I think that spreadsheet is very useful to teacher, especially for grade books. I think that using it in the classroom might be different than using it for your class, I think it would depend on what class you were teaching as to whether or not it would be useful in class. I think that as a teacher we use spreadsheet to make recording grades etc easier on ourselves. Spreadsheet can be programmed to make calculations repeatedly, where as a calculator requires number to manually be entered.

I think that Spreadsheet works well for all three functions expressed in the text, storing, calculating, and presenting. I think the main reason so many people use spreadsheet is because it combines all three of those functions. I can't think of any other spreadsheet function that does not fall into one of these three categories.
