Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is a great tool to have in your tool bag. This software not only benefits people in education but also people in all walks of life such as business. Excel is great for compiling data and sorting through it in a quick and efficient manner. Also, as I learned in class recently can effectively keep a grade book. Something else I learned recently is that it's a great tool to make a timeline. Before class last week, I was wondering how Excel could be used beyond administrative tasks and grade book duties. Creating a timeline on the computer can be often times challenging and fustarating. However, when using excel is didn't feel those emotions. I found is extremely beneficial to utilize a step by step guide such as the one I found http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelArticles/create-a-timeline.html 

This site was instrumental at easing my frustration. While many programs are very powerful, I feel Excel when used correctly can be a grat took in the classroom.
