Learn Excel from the context of real classroom situations!

If you try to learn Excel from an accountant, you may know how to build a financial statement but will never learn how to build a gradebook. The problems in this book were developed by real classroom teachers to address needs in their classroom.

In the course of learning how to build a gradebook, classroom library database, match fact checker and more, you will learn every major feature in Excel.

The book can be used on three levels:

  • To get an introduction to Excel, download the 25 sample files and start using them in the classroom.
  • Read the chapter to understand how the file was built so that you can develop similar workbooks.
  • Advanced readers can delve into "Excel Details" sections in some chapters to learn deep features in the product. If you master all of the Excel details sections, you are on your way to being your school's guru in Excel.
