Microsoft Excel Workshop


Hello! On Tuesday, April 12th the Technology Ambassadors Program held an instructional workshop on Microsoft Excel from 3:30-4:30pm at the Peck School. Excel is an extremely useful spreadsheet application that can be used to organize data, such as student grades and test scores, and then display the information in charts and graphs.

There were 27 people in attendance at Tuesday's workshop and the TAP Team was thrilled!
