Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Ms. Kirshner, MBA, MS
MOS Periods 6 and 7

AIM: Return to Microsoft Excel today and review its components, similarities to MS Word menus and commands. Then determine where we left off.

DO NOW: Take a look in your class folder for this class. Did you save the "spreadsheets" that you created with Excel earlier in the marking period? What did you learn? What would you like to learn? Do you remember how to use the formulas? Do you think you will need to use charts in reports for school? In what ways do you want to use charts and formulas?
Think about all the uses of the automated spreadsheets, formula calculations, inventories, charts, spreadsheets, and your role as a business, math, economics, or accounting and finance major. Type your response, using MS Word.

LP / Classwork:
We will recap, discuss where we left off, what we need to know and want to learn, and class folders will be viewed for Excel files. Students will complete a K-W-L chart, and then recreate it, using Excel and cut an paste their text into the chart and save the work.

After Excel, we start PowerPoint, another Microsoft program.


CONGRATULATIONS!!!

There were many great ads! It was not easy to make the final selections.
Other students who did excellent work received and will continue to receive certificates noting their work and chocolates or other rewards.

We will run more contests in the future so don't despair!

CLASSWORK: We created spreadsheets and inventories, and basic operations, including inserting formulas, but we didn't do charts yet, so we will certainly get to it. We will use the Excel packets, and if we run short, we can use the spiral bound books. Please be very careful with them, as they are fragile and pages fall out easily. Please treat the books with respect.

Pages to be determined after discussion.
