Sharing Spreadsheets

When i used to think about spreadsheets i used to think about businesses and jobs that maintain a chart to keep track of all their goods. But when i was given this assignment to explore spreadsheets as an inquiry based project i realized that this is a good tool to incorporate into the education setting. This is a controlled and organized way to view whatever it is your working on. 

I have created a sample spreadsheet on my wedding budget to show how easy it would be to incorporate spreadsheets in the classroom. This would be a way to give the students an assignment on how to take polls. They can write students names and see what their favorite food is like pizza, hamburgers, or corn dogs and students will take count and then create a chart as well. By looking at charts and spreadsheets it shows students the differences and ranges there are.
