I have to say that the mathematical aspects of this chapter were a bit over my head. I use the Internet to buy a book, research a topic, write a paper, not figure out a formula or work a spreadsheet. I do gradebooks on line, this is true but it is via program that i am requirred to use, which runs all the formulas with out me bing involved.
I teach reading, and I have to say I have a difficult time finding how using spreadsheets in my reading lessons can ever be more than using them for the sake of using them, versus being an integral part of the lesson that helps convey the overall purpose of the lesson. I believe that a program, tool, whatever shoudl be used becasue it helps move you along, not because it is shiny and looks good.
I have been in charge of taking my students to computer lab and teaching them the spreadhseet competancies, pretty tragic when you factor in the fact that no one has shown me how to use spreadsheets.
