Spreadsheets Workshop

I recently attended a workshop on spreadsheets taught by Michele Dornisch in late October. I learned how as a social studies teacher I can use excel to create a map that is pasted into various cells that allow for information to be hidden unless hovered over. I found it very interesting because this was not something I had seen used before for map studies. I also found the grade book portion of the workshop very useful. I have previously used excel spreadsheets before for grading, but I learned many new techniques that would streamline the process for me. I have sucessfully applied the techniques I have learned and used them for my 1st quarter grading. I think this workshop could have been shortened and perhaps webcast since the technology we use for other classes would also be very effective. I think this would be something to look into for the future.
