I am excited about learning to use Excel! This was a great project and was especially relevant because I plan on using it immediately (this fall) when I am coaching high school volleyball. Creating individual spreadsheets will be a great way for the girls to keep track of their stats, and it will be a wonderful visual for showing either improvement or areas they need to work harder on. I also love the fact that you can enter a formula and the program does all the computing for you. I can't tell you the countless hours I've spent after matches and at tournaments crunching numbers on my tiny calculator so I can call stats into the newspaper!
In my future classroom, creating spreadsheets will be a fun, non-threatening way of tracking improvement in different skills, keeping records on nutrition, working on the components of fitness, etc... I love that the subject of Physical Education will crossover into Math, Health and Technology, and the continuity could provide unity between staff, students and subject matter. This excites me!!!
I feel like I did a good job on the spreadsheet, although I left out the "Chart or Gadget" component because I couldn't figure out how to integrate those into my plans. Other than that, I went down the ruberic and checked off the components as I went, so the list should be complete.
Using spreadsheets will definitely play a role in my classroom.
