graphs. surveys. SPREADSHEETS. tables.

The spreadsheet program on both Google and Excel are great ways to bring technology into the classroom. As for myself, early childhood aged children would have a difficult time creating a graph but they could plug the numbers in to see the graph or table develop. You could take a survey but have a teacher read to each child what the question asks. I believe this would also be a great way to better the parent involvement in your classroom. Setting up times for parent teacher conferences, parties, deciding about different choices could all be ways I would use spreadsheets to gather my data. For me as a teacher, spreadsheets is a great way to develop a grading system or a way to keep data all together. With spreadsheets it is easily seen and read. I hope to better educate myself even more about these programs and the parents and children I will be working with. If we all have a basic understanding of the programs, it could really benefit our classroom needs.
