Activity 7 - Spreadsheets as a Learning Resource

Spreadsheets can be used as part of the learning process whether with a large group of students or one-on-one.  When there is a large group of students and limited computers, teachers can use projectors to conduct lessons which require spreadsheet use; they can also include printed tutorials which help students to follow the process used and provides them with a reference document.  In a situation where there are enough computers for individual use, collaborative projects which incorporate data collection, processing and presentation can be carried out by having individuals feed data into small groups which then feed the overall project.
