A great internet tool that I found that I know would be beneficial to all teachers is called Easy Text maker. Easy Test Maker is a free online test generator to help you create your tests. With Easy Test Maker you can create multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, short answer and true and false questions all on the same test. You can also insert instructions and divide your test into multiple sections. Easy Test Maker automatically generates alternate versions entirely randomized and master answer sheets with a single click! Just click the "Generate Alternate Versions" or "Print Answer Sheet" link when you are done creating your test. http://www.easytestmaker.com/default.aspx

A way that I will be using Excel as an educator is to handle my grades. Excel will allow me to manage, monitor, and manipulate the student’s grades and progress throughout the year. There are functions in excel that will allow me to generate the final grades automatically and have charts and data show averages and individual student progress.

A great example of how teachers used Excel in the school setting is to manage their curriculum. Teachers were able to create a specific progress guideline as to what should be done on what day, and what progress should be made at a specific point in time. In using this tool, teachers where able to ensure that are not moving too fast, nor are they slowing a student’s progress.
