Description:
Teachers and students across the country and across the curriculum are doing amazing things with Microsoft's best-selling Excel spreadsheet and chart program. For example, did you know that in addition to keeping gradebooks and having students chart, calculate and present data in meaningful ways, you can use Excel to make interactive lessons and quizzes students can self-take? Trainers agree that Janet Caughlin's just-released Excel Workshop for Teachers is the best tutorial on the market--bar none—for unleashing the power of Excel into your classroom. Janet has poured her expertise as a nationally respected K-12 trainer and author, as well as her 29 years of classroom experience as a teacher, into this resource. It's your quickest introduction and best reference tool for Excel.

You follow right along on the computer, using templates you open from the accompanying CD-ROM. Each activity teaches a few new ideas and reinforces ideas taught previously.

  • This book has been carefully designed to help both first timers as well as advanced users make better use of their valuable teaching time. You can learn at your own pace. Trainers can print individual lessons to teach specific Excel concepts, or they can use the book as the basis of a complete stand-alone class or training unit.

  • Excel Workshop for Teachers is the only Excel tutorial for teachers that has simultaneous and complete coverage of both the Macintosh and Windows versions of Excel 97, 98, 2000 and 2001. Whether you are a teacher trainer dealing with different versions and/or platforms or just looking to understand what's new in 2000 or 2001, you will appreciate this book's seamless integration and focus on all the key differences.

  • This book covers all aspects of creating a dynamic Excel project from start to finish. Excel Workshop for Teachers also covers advanced topics like inserting sounds, publishing to the web, sharing presentations, and using viewers and converters.
