Excel

Excel is a powerful program. In my classes we only scratch the surface of what it can do. We learn about making meaningful charts, sorting information, creating and using formulas, conditional formatting, and using if/then statements to create interactive worksheets. Below are some of the lessons I use. They are almost all adapted from other sources which are cited on the lessons. Please feel free to adapt them further for your classroom use.
