Data ToolPack Research overview

I had a hard time finding the tool menu when trying to add the toolpack to Excel. After looking and researching Excel I finally figured out how to add the toolpack menu. I clicked on file and scrolled down to the option, the menu came up and Add-In was one that was offered. After clicking on Add-In, I had to click on the inactive application menu to make the toolpack active.

This assignment reflects Standard 5 because because of the Professional Growth of using Excel to keep record of grades and other data inside the classroom. Excel has different ways to calculate different types of material and by keeping grades, or making a list of students of what they need or what they might be doing, is a great learning and professional growth process.
