Exploring MS Excel

     As a teacher, we need to keep track on students progress. This is made possible by using MS Excel. Briefly, MS Excel is a simple spreadsheet application written and distributed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Basically, it features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables and a macro programming called VBA (Visual Basic for Applications; which Puan Azyan will teach us sooon). Thus, with a few clicks and a dash of vicious typing here and there, we can do some basic statistics (actually MS Excel will do all the nasty calculations and drawings). Just within seconds, we will get whatever calculation and graph that we want (as long as everything is typed correctly). 

Here are the print screens what we have learnt the other day...


 And the command functions that are required for this simple stats calculations are




So here we are. Everything that we need to know and acquire for being a teacher. A more sophisticated and complicated stuff will be taught by Puan Azyan very very soon. =)
