Why we should use Spreadsheets and Databases in the classroom.

Reflect on why students should use Databases and Spreadsheets in the classroom. In doing so, focus on your content area and the specific advantages and disadvantages of integrating this software in your future classroom.

I am looking forward to teaching at the kindergarten level. Databases and spreedsheets would be a helpful tool to use in the classroom. When teaching astronomy or health these programs would give the children a new perspective when looking at information. The database plots could show the children different facts about the subject you are teaching. For instance I made a database on the facts of the planets in the universe. The facts include diameter of each planet and distance the planet was from the sun. The children would be able to compare and contrast the differences between each planet. The only down fall I see in using these types of programs would be the difficulty level for a kindergartener to use.
