Survival tips for your own tech use
1. Invest time in learning computing basics.
2. Use what technologies personally empower you
with your students.
3. Become a colearner with your students in regard to
technology.
4. Be skeptical, but open-minded. Be sure your “tech

33.
Even to this

34.
What will you record?
Names (“atomize it”)
Attendance (number of absences?)
Participation (points / letters?)
Tests (with/out a rubric?)
Assignments (drop/keep low/high scores?)

35.
How will you structure it?
Names & numbers first?
Final grades at the end?
Letter grades? Percentages?
Allow only certain values?
Need a bell curve?***

36.
Know your keyboard buttons
CTRL / SHIFT ALT (ALT + ⌘)

37.
Know your software buttons
Text Rotation
Merge / Divide Cells
Decimal Places

38.
Know your Functions
Most-used Common Specialty
 IF  AVERAGE  VLOOKUP
 SUM  COUNT  SUMIF
 MAX  SUMPRODUCT
 MIN
 SMALL

39.
Most Common =SUM(
=SUM (A7:G7)

40.
Most Common =IF(
=IF(SUM (A7:G7)=0,””,SUM(A7:G7))

41.
The IF function
=IF(true, then, else)
=IF(SUM(A7:G7)=0,””,SUM(A7:G7))

42.
Nested IFs
=IF(A7>=0.9,”A”,
(IF(A7>=0.8,”B”,
(IF(A7>=0.7,”C”,
(IF(A7>=0.6,”D”,
”F”
))
))
)))

43.
Replace Nested IF with VLOOUP
=VLOOKUP(B10,$A$2:$B$7,2,1)

44.
The VLOOKUP function
=VLOOKUP(where,
table,col.,T/F)
=VLOOKUP(B10,$A$2:$B$7,2,1)
