Analyzing Student Data in a Spreadsheet

I really enjoyed learning how to use the Google Docs Spreadsheets. I was somewhat familiar with excel before, but now I feel very confident in using this program for all my spreadsheet needs! It was very easy to learn and to move around the tool in order to do the things that I needed to. I can not wait to use this tool for many projects throughout my teaching career!




The summary of the test results were very interesting to me. When I did the total averages of all the student averages and all of the test averages they ended up being the same number 191.92. Another observation was that all of the below average students besides for two (Katherine and Walter) had an increase from test to test. The other two students fluctuated up and down with their test scores.
I find this spreadsheet tool on Google to be very applicable to my new career as a teacher! I am very excited that I learned how to use it and can't wait to apply it to my own classroom!
