Alright, Spreadsheets might not seem all that exciting to you, but they are very useful tool for putting together a lot of data in a very fast way. Instead of having to spend hours and hours doing calculations, Spreadsheets will do the work for you (this leaves you time to do things that you enjoy!). Luckily, Google Docs has a Spreadsheet function to make it easier for us.
Take a look at the example I've created here. Your job is to create something similar, but you'll be keeping track of how much time you spend using electronics. Examples include: TV, computer for school, computer for fun, telephone, listening to music, watching movies, chatting, etc. Here's what you'll need to include in your spreadsheet:
- Between 3 and 6 categories of what you spend time on over the next week
- include formulae so that the calculations are done for you
- compile the data into two different types of graphs (on a separate page within the same file)
- make it interesting and easy to look at (NOT just black & white!)
Share the document with me, so I can see how you're progressing.
Here's some resources to help you out if you're having difficulty with formulae:
