I really enjoyed the Excel class. I found it very informative as I am not as familiar with this Microsoft program as I am with the other two. The annoying thing about Microsoft Excel on the Mac '11 is the formatting wizard (that was demonstrated with '08) is not present because it has gone to a '07 Windows format, and the options on in the windows on the Mac version are not readily available. For example if I want to make a border on the spreadsheet, I have to go into format, cells, and then look over the options in order to get to a feature that was demonstrated using a readily available icon. Comparing this application with Numbers, I really like the simplicity that Numbers provides compared with Excel. I like the idea of using the excel cells and to have a game with less mess. I also like the opportunity to create my own scoring sheets that we can use for individual units. But the coolness of Numbers and the user-friendliness makes that program more interesting to me as a teacher for recording grades.
Class was exceptional. Learned so much. Love all the shortcuts and wrap text function. Looking forward to using this information at school. Will definitely make my job easier! Thanks!
I found the class very informative as well. I have not used excel very much so the basic skills were great. I would like to try some of the ideas, Battleship would be fun and a great way to practice basic computer skills like mouse control and plotting skills. Thanks!
Another Great Class! I have never tried working in Excel. It was very helpful to follow along step by step with your instruction. Although the program had some good features, I would rather use Numbers for the simplicity.

Great class- I have used Excel a little, but learned so much from this class ( and after reading the other comments, I wish that I had attended the Numbers class- next year/summer) I use Excel for my special ed lists- lists of students, IEP due dates and re-classification due date- I love the ability to take the same data and re-sort the lists. I want to try and use Excel with my log data/dates and maybe some self-correcting tests ( if I can find my old Excel notes about if:then functions!!)
