I would definitely need to work a LOT with this before I could use it. I like the way you can add so much to it as far as graphics and other information. The ease with which it can be used is great!I can see how it could be used with students for big projects. Teachers could use it along with several different graphs and information for a newsletter, midterm report or just to communicate missing work from school to home. Of course without email addresses for the parents, it would need to be sent home with students who often seem to be unreliable! In that case nothing would change. :(

I think I would use this more for personal use. If I were to use it in my classroom, I would use it to graph tests to show growth and progress. It would be fun for older students to use to chart science experiments. It is a good resource to use and very user friendly. I may try it to chart the kids reading minutes to see growth and the kids can see it in chart form, which is much more visually pleasing than me just telling them.
Even though I rarely use Excel on a day-to-day basis, I really enjoy the ease the use of Numbers. It has similar formats to that of Pages and Keynote (it also doesn't give me the urge to stab my brain with a dull butter knife while using it). The display is very friendly and extremely user friendly, pleasing to the eye, and makes a lot of sense. I really like the Grade book feature with the graphs, class averages, and roster/seating chart capability. Excellent class! I now wonder why I spent the extra money to purchase Office 2011.
Numbers was new for me. This was interesting to learn that there are simple templates already to use in this program to organize my class data. I think I will go simple and try just my spelling grades.
Thanks a bunch!
