Incorporating Excel Spreadsheets into the Curriculum...

Subject: Physical Education

I think it would be a great idea to use a spreadsheet as a record-keeping device for a P.E class. Students could perform various tasks, record them, then subsequently enter their data into a spreadsheet to evaluate his or her own abilities. For example, in a basketball class students could work in pairs and record the number of layups, free-throws, 3 pointers, and the number of blocked shots of their partner. After they had completed a task, students could input their scores into a spreadsheet and create a graph based on their performance!
