Hablar: an Interactive Spreadsheet

Last week we finished up the Interactive Excel Spreadsheet assignment. It was so neat because it turned out to look very professional, especially after we got rid of the grid lines that weren't being used. I also liked how easy it was to set up the answers and points awarded. I never knew how to plug in formulas so that the computer calculates the right and wrong answers and does the grading itself! This activity will be so perfect for teaching verb forms in Spanish. I did mine on the present tense of the verb, "hablar." "Hablar" is usually the first verb teachers use to teach students how to conjugate present tense Spanish words, so this assignment would be perfect for any beginning Spanish learners. With verbs, Spanish learners usually have to take a lot of time and practice. The Interactive Excel Spreadsheet was easy to follow, and it seemed to turn a monotonous lesson into something interesting and fun!
