The interactive spreadsheet activity was really exciting for me. I do not use Excel very often so I did not know about this sort of feature. Even though making the spreadsheet work properly is sort of complicated, I could definitely see myself using it in the classroom. It is an easy way for students to be quickly quizzed or reviewed on the material while both students and teachers can get fast feedback. My example spreadsheet was a quiz on polygon properties that a Geometry teacher can use as a review or assessment before moving on to new material. The only drawback to the interactive spreadsheet, especially in a Mathematical setting, is that the answers must be one word, and there is not a way to turn in students' work; however, maybe a teacher could have students work equations on a separate sheet of paper and turn this paper in. I suggest the use of this great tool for any classroom.
