Sheets: Create a Sheets Assignment

Learning Activity

While spreadsheets are generally considered a math/science tool, they can be used in many different subject areas.

• History: Collect information about historical figures or events
• Language: Organize parts of speech and grammar rules
• Literature: Create a list of important characters and their attributes
• Art: Create pixel art, or make a database of famous artists based on their style or art period

Create a Sheets assignment for students. Students could use Sheets as a way to gather or analyze information for a subject-related assignment, or the assignment could teach them how to use Sheets. Consider ways to integrate Sheets information with other apps (see the Resource video for one example).

Tip: Download and import publicly available datasets for data analysis assignments.
