SLM uses only evidence-based procedures designed to deliver 21st Century Skills with a spreadsheet. PD teachers can very rapidly simply Post, Present, Proctor their own original lessons credentialed by skills.
SLM Content provided as either a PD module or student-ready experience.
SLM Skills: 40 "Deliverable Skills" endorsements provided on PD Certs.
Spreadsheet skills among those practiced when delivering SLM programming experiences
There are infinite possible things to model, but students have limited time and the 40 SLM Deliverable Skills tracked in teach PD can be distributed across the entire curriculum by content area. SLM was taxpayer funded NSF SBIR Award Number 1913560
Title: Computer Science for All with Spreadsheet Modeling: Researching how Low Cost Video Training for STEM Teachers Leads to High Value Programming Skills for Students. 2019 Abstract...
Built and organized by professional educators.
- Formula Writing (using all mathematical operations: trigonometric functions, inverse trig functions, converting radians to degrees)
- Formula Replication, Using Fixed and Relative References
- Analysis of Large Data Sets with Computer Commands
- IF Functions, Sum Functions, Max and Min Functions
- Making and Using Pivot Tables (a Pivot Table is a series of simulating cells that update when a referenced variable(s) are changed at their input location(s), each model is a pivot table)
- Goal Seek/Solver to Solve/Optimize
- Applying Random Number Generator Functions
- Development of Living Graphs that Update Instantly
