The second part of our week four workshop in Learning Technologies, we were required to design a bargraph using mircrosoft excel. We were required to use different colours. It was based m&ms. We needed to sort out each coloumn seperately by using the m&ms colours. Graphs can be used to sort out information in a numerical order. When i was in primary school, we were introduced to Mircrosoft Excel - when we gathered data the easiest way to organise this data was in a form of a graph - Personally when i was younger, i didnt know we can actually design graphs using excel; i always thought they can only be drawn on paper. Excel is such a useful tool in that sorts infromation calculating the total on its own. Some may find it hard to use, they may find it difficult to split the cells on the excel page; alot of guidance is required as a teacher - however it is important to know that it isnt hard to follow. Once a clear explanation is showen and explained thoroughly, students will be able to understand how to use it and the reason as to why this program is used.
All sorts of graphs can be design on Microsoft excel; pie, bar and pictographs. Charts are also designed using microsoft excel. The graph above basically shows what we needed to do during our workshop this week. As a student in my final year of study, over the years i have become quite confident in sorting out information using graphs and charts on Mircrosoft Excel. Microsoft Excel is an important tool and i believe students should be introduced to such a successful and useful program in their primary years or study.
