Blog reflection #4

After reflecting on the spreadsheets and databases you created, reviewing the materials on the Spreadsheets & Databases Wiki pages (at the bottom) answer these questions by providing at least two specific examples for how students would use databases and two specfic examples for how students would use spreadsheets in your future classroom. "Why should students use Databases and Spreadsheets in the classroom?"


After working on the Spreadsheets and Databases, I really enjoyed the spreadsheets more and feel that is is more suitable for younger children to understand.For Spreadsheets, the students can use this program for a number of things. students can use it to see how many students have the same birthday or who likes certain types of food. The spreadsheet i used was for songs and they students could count the number of beats in each song. Using the database was a good experience and it shows good examples on how to make diffrents charts and graphs. The database is better for older children maybe for first or second grade because it concentrates more on the graphing part. Students can use the database for basically anything i used it for animals. students can look up information on about what they eat, where they live, or how they breathe. Students should use Database's and spreadsheets in the classroom because it gives them a chance to become familiar with how to use the programs so that way later in education or at a job they will be able to know what to do. The programs also enable the students to be able to read information on charts and graphs.
