Friday Fun with Spreadsheets 2022-09-30
Happy Friday! October starts tomorrow, and that month has the best holiday of the year – Spreadsheet Day! While we wait patiently for that big day to arrive, here’s a bit of Friday fun, featuring spreadsheets.
Spreadsheets for Kids
Should kids use spreadsheets? Of course they should!
Here’s what Jake Miller tweeted last week
It’s no secret that I ❤️love❤️ me some #spreadsheets… and I think that our kids should be exposed to them too!
If you’re worried that a spreadsheet can give your kids the answers… Ask better questions!https://t.co/FqFKPrrBMn#MathChat #edtechmath #STEMChat pic.twitter.com/1PW9x6S1ZP

Excel Word Search

Spreadsheet Meme of the Week
Whether you’re moving into the college dormitory, or a new apartment in the big city, I’m sure you’ve asked yourself this question:
Should I tell my roommates that I love spreadsheets?
How will your new roommates respond?
- Will they be excited to hear that news
- Will that information get things off to a rocky start?
- Will your plaid shirt give them a clue that you love grids?
There’s only one way to find out for sure!
