Teaching Spreadsheets using Calc from OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org is a free office suite.
This is also especially for those of you who can't stand the MS Office 2007 interface (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). OpenOffice.org has almost all the same features in almost all the same places as Office 2003! The tutorial handouts I provide can be used with either MS Excel or OOo Calc. (My students have repeatedly proved this despite my instructions!) |
