Excel B106 2nd Day!!

Everything started off a little rocky today, what with the outer doors of the building being locked, probably due to the President coming into town this week. So, I had to stay by the doors and make sure students could get in. After that, the day started with a quick review of our previous session, and then we got to work! The students took their Learn@UW quiz, and then Elizabeth went over the questions. Everyone did very well, getting some of the harder questions without trouble. Then, Elizabeth discussed functions and how to use them as well as find new ones on the internet. Carrie did a great job with the Order of Operations exercise, figuring out the complicated math problem that was put on the board.

After the break, Elizabeth covered conditional formatting, rules, and sorting/filters. The students looked at the document showing city populations and had them figure out which were the largest and in which countries, giving them an idea of how Excel can be used to keep track of information. Then, she introduced the assignment of having them make a list of things in their refrigerator, and using conditional formatting in order to keep track of the items in their fridge, making sure that they know when they get low on something. AJ stopped by and reminded everyone to keep track of the moldy stuff in their fridge.

After that, Elizabeth had to leave because she wasn't feeling well. Get better, Elizabeth!

Here's Alli's fridge list:

Lastly, the students finished up their fridge list, and then blogged. All in all, it was a great day for ITA!!!
