Spreadsheet+Tools

Here are a few applications which you can use to store data and use for bookkeeping. Choose an application (or add a new one) and discuss any or all of these questions:

 * What are some things I can do with this software?
 * Are there built-in templates? How are they?
 * What are some useful tools in this application?
 * Does the software do what it is intended to do?
 * What do you like about it?
 * What do you dislike about it?
 * How could this software be used in class?


 * Microsoft Word || Microsoft Excel is an excellent application that can create graphs, data tables and make make types of calculations. The software features calculation, graphing tools and pivot tables. I like that the setup is very user-friendly and very easy to make accurate graphs. Though sometimes finding information of tools can be difficult. This software is very useful in science or math class to organize data. ||
 * Apple iWorks Numbers || Numbers is just basically apples version of excel it is almost identical because you start of with the grid button and you have all the same functions as excel, What you do with excel is you make spreadsheets and maybe graphs so basically anything to do with numbers. There are no built in templates but there are templates for graphs but not for spreadsheets. The useful tools in this software is how they made excel even better by making the buttons more easily visible and not as complicated. This software does what it is intended to do because it is all about numbers and anything you think of numbers you can do on this software. I like how it is easier maneuver than excel and it is all a lot more simpler. I don't like how i am so used to excel that it sometimes feels to different that it gets annoying. It could be used by making graphs and so many different things you could use it in math class. ||
 * Data Inspire ||  ||
 * Google Docs ||  ||
 * Create A Graph || It is an excellent application for people who want to make a graph easily. It's got 5 kinds of graphs which are bar, line, area, pie, xy graphs. It is easy becasue it clearly tells you where to go to do something. However, because it is made to let people make a graph easily, it doesn't have as much tools as applications such as excel which sometimes make this application to be useless. However, one goodo thing except that it is easy is that it lets you e-mail the graph to yourself or print.

In this software you can make a graph. There are many different types of graphs you can make such as a bar graph, a pie graph, a line graph, a area graph and a XY graph. The built in templates are the graphs in which you can make your self by adding the data and how big you want it. Some useful tools are that when you are making the graph you can make it different colors and different shapes in the bar graph. You can also change the appearance from 2D to 3D and shadow. Yes, this software is intended to be able to make a frappe of anything you want and this software allows you too. I really like that you can change the shape of the bar in the bar graph you can change it to a triangle or a rhombus or a cylinder or a pattern. I don't dislike anything. This software could be used in a math class making graphs or if a teacher is teaching her class about different kinds of graphs. ||
