Lecture 9: Spreadsheets

Today we looked at spreadsheets and using mail merger to help us with our report writing.
We used an example spreadsheet document and adapted it to suit our own needs for our future classrooms. We then used mail merger to transfer the students test/project scores from the spreadsheet to word documents to help us with our reporting.

I learnt more about using spreadsheets and what they can be used for. I also learnt how to use mail merge for the first time. Initially it was complicated but I eventually understood how to use it.




I would use the spreadsheets to document my students' scores for tests and projects and then use mail merge to put the information into word documents. I could use this throughout the term and then when it came to report time I would have half of my report done!

Next time I would make sure that the colums of my spreadsheet were well labelled so that when I go to use mail merge, I can see which column is which.
