Microsoft Excel is the
standard for spreadsheet creation and data manipulation.
The Excel are designed to help create formulas
in Excel and understand the software at all levels. Help to learn to create a
spreadsheet, use functions and formulas, create a pivot table, and much more.
(Drawing population pyramids)
This spreadsheet
explains the process of constructing beautiful population pyramids!
(Creating a Climograph in Excel)
Excel can be a bit
intimidating for novices, but confidence in the use of spreadsheets is really
important for my students.
These lessons may also be used with PRB's online DataFinder,
a searchable database that includes all the data from the most recent World
Population Data Sheet. Data can be displayed as a map, chart, or table, and
downloaded into Excel.
Google Earth can help
us bring a world of information alive for our students. Google Earth are a fun
and visual way to help students understand geography concepts, map reading,
location, and distance measurement. Students can use Google Earth to explore
topics like the progress of human civilization, the growth of cities, the
impact of civilization on the natural environment, and the impact of natural
disasters.
Last year I used Google Map
demos to get my students
been excited about geography beyond the
static map and i used different Google Map layers to study transportation,
demographics, economics, and in specific local or exotic contexts.
