Spreadsheets in the Classroom

Since I plan on being an early childhood educator, I'm not sure that my students will be able to understand and use spreadsheets on their own.

I think I could create one for a class assignment. For example, I can compile the data I collect on favorite colors and just show them how it works. Early exposure to these programs can be positive.

I believe I could use the survey tool on google docs. I could take the idea of finding out favorite colors and make a survery out of it. If my students can't read maybe there is a way to add color.

I think it's possible to use spread sheets and surveys in early childhood if you can get creative.
