TF Digital Tech Literacy: Spreadsheet Basics: Introduction to Excel / Google Sheets

Introduction

Digital Literacy Class: We are going to learn about so many incredible ways to be creative, collaborative, and to communicate. We will focus on computer skills and applications. Some topics you already know about, and you will know better, and other topics and applications will be new to you! Either way, we will work together to find the ones you are able to use best. This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the material we will cover. - Mr. S

Spreadsheet Basics: Introduction to Excel / Google Sheets

This is your Introduction to MS Excel (Google Sheets). Please pay close attention during the class presentation (Click Here to Download Presentation at Home).
You will be creating a number of spreadsheets over the next few days.
It is important that you learn to navigate around the spreadsheet as
easily as you do in MS Word (Google Documents). You will find that most of the RIBBON
items are similar and that you can find out how to do things without my
help by using the HELP Button.

Google Sheets Example 1 - Scribner P1

We will be using MS Excel (Google Spreadsheets) to perform Basic Math, create Employee
Timecards, Payroll Worksheets, a Family Monthly Budget, and much more!

Students are also prompted to reflect and evaluate strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement. These skills will allow for planning, improvement, goal-setting, and reflection. Emphasis will be placed on integration of previous learning across the school curriculum.
