Spreadsheets are interesting! However, including it in my 1st to 2nd grade classroom could be challenging. However, I believe that they could use the spreadsheet if I had it more set up for them, such things as setting up the formulas. The students could take surveys and see how pie chats, along with other charts. Students can also see how numbers, percentages, averages can impact and affect their chats. In short, they see mathematical terminology and their how to use these and see how they work. Children will visually see the impacts that technology as well as math have on their lives, and how fun it can be.

I think word processing can help my 2nd graders with creative writing. As demonstrated in class, we had fun and many creative fun juices were flowing. The children will also learn how to use word processing, yes they are young, but I feel they can use it somewhat. The children can at least type a sentence. The point I'm trying to make is that the children will get familiar with word processing and can feel free to explore and discover the methods of typing and processing. Children will see how computers can be fun and can help them communicate with each other and the world around them.
