Go Slow Workshop on Google Sheets
Spreadsheets are one of the most useful things we can use as a teacher. We have to manage a lot of data and information and frankly using spreadsheets helps us to do our job better. Spreadsheets are also a valuable life skill for our students. Looking at this list of best jobs for 2017, all of them would use spreadsheets as part of their work.

Make a Spreadsheet
Step 1: Consider using spreadsheets with your students. You don’t have to do any math or know anything fancy to have your students use a spreadsheet. Instead of “why would I use a spreadsheet” think “why would I NOT use a spreadsheet?” It’s a giant table, you can use it for almost everything.
Have students make a list of their vocabulary words in a spreadsheet. It’s super nice because you can easily leave students feedback in the column next to their responses.
Instead of using a Google Doc to have students answer questions, have students put their answer into a spreadsheet. This way the answer line is already made for you. Way easier than a Google text document.
