Spreadsheet Activity Card

This scenario-based instructional activity card, from the ATE 2.0: Preparing Technicians for the Future of Work project, was created to support the implementation of the Cross-Disciplinary STEM CORE Framework. This framework has the following three skill areas: Data Knowledge and Analysis, Advanced Digital Literacy, and Business Knowledge and Processes. Instructional activity cards were created for each skill area. These instructional cards can be used as micro-lessons to introduce new technology skills into the classroom.

This Spreadsheet activity card is a part of the Data Knowledge and Analysis skill area. The first two pages of the card explain what spreadsheets are and how they relate to data knowledge and analysis, how a technician will use spreadsheets, vocabulary, education, future trends, and more. The last page includes the activity, which "is designed to give students hands-on experience with creating a simple spreadsheet that a technician might use in real life."

The Cross-Disciplinary STEM Core Framework and other activity cards are available to view separately.
