Excel

In the past, I have only used Excel in math classes.  For example to solve mean, medium, mode, and average equations.  It was interesting to learn more functions Excel can be used for such as making a seating chart, a timeline, and keeping track of grades.  I personally think I could use these functions throughout my teaching career.  However, because I am in early childhood, I don't think it would be appropriate or necessary to have my students use them to complete work.  Based on my own experience, I don't think I was taught Excel functions until middle school or even high school.  I would be interested to know if/when early childhood educators have used Excel with their students or if it is used mostly in higher grades.
