Today I was using OpenOffice.org calc to do some data analysis on some numbers from our elementary school. I continue to be impressed with how solid of a product OOo 3 is.
I am really excited about teaching others how to use this very useful tool as well, and I have begun to do so. I have 2 technology helpers at the elementary building working with me to better learn OOo Calc specifically so they can assist their colleagues in data analysis efforts to support data driven decision making. I think data driven decision making can be such a hugely powerful tool in education (along with many other fields).
