Spread sheet

As a basketball coach, I have used spreadsheet to calculate my players statistics and have it all in a nice easy to find what you are looking for layout. Spreadsheet allows you to do things you want at a much MUCH quicker pace. such as putting names in alphabetical order, or averaging out a whole bunch of numbers at one time. For teachers, spreadsheet is very useful in the classroom. It allows you to take attendence much easier and especially recording grades is now less time cosuming than it was in the past. Now, with spreadsheet, if you ever want to know the students' average, it is right there at the click of a button. Theres no need to type in every single grade into a calculator then devide them all. Instead, just highlight them, click average, and there it is! The coolest thing is that you dont have to do that for every student either, you can just highlight the entire section of grades and there averages will show up in a new colum. I have also used spreadsheet to create seatting charts, tournament brackets, and many other things that I have had to do for my job as a teacher/coach.
