Excel 2008--Online Support
Even with great tools, such as the PowerTeacher
Gradebook and Inform, spreadsheets remain the most
critical of tools for success in collecting and
analyzing student data. Whether we are collecting
data before uploading it to Inform or we are
exporting it from the Gradebook to graph,
spreadsheets are used to systematically collect,
sort, manipulate, and analyze data. Currently, School
District 21 does utilize Microsoft Office. Staff
members who are using Windows PCs are typically using
Office 2007 as we begin our transition to the new
Office 2010. Staff members who are using Macs are
using Office 2008.
