Week 13 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)


Word: spell check, dictionary, thesaurus, word count, formatting
Excel: recording data, formulas for efficiency in data entry
PowerPoint: for presentations, images, graphs, video clips

Word: Students will write a paper that is sectioned off into specific word counts, formatting, spell check, thesaurus, images/graphs, etc using many tools from word.  The students will have to have the paper put together under specifics such as: Margin and font sizes, font style, image placement throughout the paper, and proper range of word count.

Excel: Students will have to choose an athlete and record their career or season averages in excel. They will to find the athlete’s per game average of a certain stat and have it formatted, so excel is formulated automatically and the final stat appears without manual change. The math for the final averages will be done for the student by excel.

PowerPoint: Students will do a biography presentation on an athlete of their choice.  In this presentation PowerPoint is mandatory. They will need to include a video clip, images, and text throughout the slides of their presentation.

  1. Loga,
    I really like your idea on the pro-player season average assignments using and Excel spreadsheet. I think that would definitely be teachinga across the curriculum and allows students who may not be the best on the track or field an advantage in the area of technology. Sometimes I feel that PE is so focused on the most athletic and talented kids that it fails to recognize the well-rounded active students. But these assignments would allow students to exhibit all their talents equally being assessed.
