What do I think about using Spreadsheets and Databases in my classroom?

I think that the use of Spreadsheets and Databases in my classroom would be an easy way to incorporate technology into a class that normally does not have that focus. I think that it is important to give students as much exposure to technology as possible in high school. Knowledge of how to create simple Spreadsheets and Databases is something that students may need when they go to college or begin working. Spreadsheets are useful to make calculations and graphs while Databases are useful to sort and look up large amounts of information. Most businesses use these types of programs and it will help students prepare for the real world if I incorporate some of these activities into my class.
