CED0515 Week 3

Ok I promise I won't make this an hour long post. This week we are focusing on spreadsheets and I couldn't be happier. I am terrible with spreadsheets and have always admired those who efficiently and effortlessly seem to use spreadsheets and this was a large reason as to why I took this class. To add to the joys of learning how to better utilize spreadsheets I also get the added bonus of learning how to better implement them through the use of technology. I have so effortlessly and easily learned how to use this feature that I have mandated that all of my coaches create a Gmail account so I can share spreadsheets with them. I have already created budget sheets, rosters, statistical analysis sheets, information documents and many more that I intend to have all of my coaches utilize. This one class has saved me several hours of documenting stuff for my other coaches that I can now have them do themselves. For that I am very thankfull. In addition to saving me time, this has also provided me with a system of checks and balances that will allow my coaches to see the finances and keep anyone from being able to accuse me of stealing money. In addition to my coaching, I've also created documents for my Architecture class and will soon be creating documents for my engineering program. In all I'm extremely happy with this portion of the class and look forward to continue to grow and learn in utilizing spreadsheets even further.
