Exploring Microsoft Excel

In this 21^st century, from the time waking up and the step we take, we learn new things. After joining this college, I have learned many things about the usage of technology. When I was in the first year, I learned a module FIT. From this module, I have learned a new thing which was not aware of before. I am somewhat familiar with the use of excel, excel can quickly make different columns with number’s and colour coding and organizing data. Now I am going to share my experience in learning Microsoft Excel.

I must say that it was a motivating experience for me. I have only used excel to organized data, but not really manipulate it. I learned how to format in excel and how to arrange the data according to different factors. I also learned how to find the average values and apply formulas to specific parts of the data. Being a forthcoming teacher, knowing Excel is an extra bonus for me. Furthermore, this knowledge truly aided me during my teaching practice in making result and consolidation sheet.

It is vital for us to know about handling Excel. Excel will make easy to see the students data and

manipulate it to easily see how each student is doing in a different content area. Through Microsoft Excel, we can do anything like linking a bar graph or any type of graph which helps in the presentation. Good presentation leads to good teaching and under stable to the students where learning takes place through excel. So, Microsoft Excel is the one which helps both teachers and students to have an effective transformation of knowledge from each other.

In the process of learning about Excel, I faced some major problem like not knowing which formula to use for certain computations. In order to resolve this type of problem, the supervision of my tutor is helpful. Additionally, the excel website was the most supportive tool to address or give direction to solve this formula issue. The website worked the best owing to it includes both steps and equation. So, Microsoft Excel allows us to manage and analyze data. Therefore, I learned that Microsoft Excel is the right tools to enable us to accomplish all the teaching and learning needs.
