Spreadsheets

I think that spreadsheets are a very useful tool for classrooms of all subject areas. Many people believe that they are only useful for math but they are useful in both social studies and science as well. Examples of how they can be used in social studies include having students name state capitals, the positions of political parties, or the locations of certain historical events. Spreadsheets allow students to practice and affirm their own understanding of the material. If the spreadsheet is web based, the students can test their understanding anytime they have access to the internet.
