Good piece!
Now I know that I’ll have to find helpful and relevant ways to incorporate Excel in my life, outside of class. I do agree with the ‘if you don’t lose it you lose it’. For me, if I’m able to bring color into the Excel workbook and give relevance to a spreadsheet dealing with content that matters to me, like environmental issues, oceanic preservation or water privatization, that will help me because it will commit it to my memory. I definitely need to know, not only how but the ‘why’ to retain the how. Adding color and meaning to make it matter will be important to me. If you hadn’t posted this and explained it so well, especially regarding the ‘types of Excelers’ I would not have known. This will help me have a clearer path to move forward. I appreciate that and you’re a great teacher 🙂 that I appreciate too! See ya in class ~

I fall in to the third catagory and THAT will be my biggest challenge. I have been using Excel for years. I am self/YouTube taught. Everything I know is more work around than actual method and I will have to unlearn everything I have used for years. Looking forward to the challenge. . . . I think.

cheers,

Two quarters into Rowley I stumble into this blog. Not stumble, exactly, but having skipped out halfway through the introductory section of BTS 165, I saved my Saturday afternoon to cruise Canvas modules and try to catch up (as I knew would be the price). Somehow that led me here. Was this blog assigned or was a link there in the syllabus for those seeking more, or is this just where my procrastination led when I could not figure out how to ask a cell for division? Doesn’t matter. No longer requiring anonymity I am thrilled to be here, ready to engage, join forces on my journey as The Digital Immigrant. Next step is to understand what type of engagement will be of use. For now, I’m strapping in.
