Wow! This is so amazing. It was my first time to use excel and I have never thought that it would be that easy to create a crossword puzzle in less than an hour. I have used much different free software to create puzzles but never excel. I really love how we could use this software anywhere even without the use of the Internet. With the use of software in the classroom, and infusing it into the curriculums students are able to use different software to create assignments, educational games, and activities in which they are able to recall and continue learning. Students are able to do higher-level thinking and the retention of what they learn will become more meaningful when they are able to apply and use what they have learned.
Further, I believe that parents should play an important part in their child’s learning. It is important that they are informed about what is going on in their child’s class because it shows a sense of them having responsibility for their child’s education and so that they are able to help their child with assignments, projects, etc.
Lastly, I found this activity really helpful in learning the use of excel. This project does not only teach the students how to use excel but also teach them to learn vocabulary words and the different aspects of the lesson you will use it for. This activity is also very helpful because it also allows the students to use the actual product that they create.
