Spreadsheets

I think that spreadsheets are awesome. Once a person knows how to use the spreadsheet they are very handy. They would be great in a fifth grade class for figuring percentages, averages and general math. It can be used for making charts and even advertising. I think that using spreadsheets in google docs is really useful because you can communicate with people through the computer, not even at the same time. There can be several people involved in a spreadsheet at the same time. We learned how to do surveys Friday in class through google docs and they are awesome. They would be good in a fifth grade class because the students could do personal projects with the help of their fellow students.
