I am going to start with Excel tips. I thought the obvious place to start was to find a good place that had a basic tutorial for Excel. This site from the University of South Dakota has a very straightforward tutorial.

I found another site that has similar tutorials for Calc, the spreadsheet program for Open Office.

I hope to spend some time comparing the two spreadsheet programs and also looking for tips on ways to teach and use the programs.

Do let me know if you have any questions that you want to me to explore - or if you have found something that helps you.
