1. Students can conduct group projects with Excel, which will enable them each to participate and see the results instantly. Within the group projects, the students will also be able to graph the results as well as predicting what future results could be. This can be part of standard number one of creativity and innovation.
2. After conducting research and collecting data on any given subject, students can locate, organize, analyze and evaluate the information collected. Once the data is collected, the students can process and report with graphs through Excel, having that as a nice, well organized was to express the findings of the information gathered, satisfying standard number three.
3. Students can use several Excel work sheets to work through science projects with tracking the different stages of the scientific method. This can be used to help fill the sixth standard with being able to understand how to use technology to conduct the scientific method with whatever project, completing the Excel worksheets. They would also be able to troubleshoot any issues they may come across.
4. For a student board committee, Excel spread sheets could be used to present information on class funds, activities, and meeting notes to be able to present to other students or faculty. Excel could also include a chart to show the progress of how the group may be doing with projects at hand as well as finances for the class or organization. This can fill most of the points for the second standard.
5. An activity for younger students, helping them to understand expenses, have the students create a spreadsheet for a situation of something they would like to save their money for. This activity can help them figure out how long it would take for them to save up the money needed to buy the item they want. In this activity, the students will be using critical thinking and decision making. They think about what item they want and research that item to find how much it costs at different stores. Students also use decision making to narrow down the items they want to one or two things, so they would be able to afford it sooner. This will incorporate standard number four.
