Mr Excel  has many free videos on tips and ricks in using Excel (spreadsheets)at:

http://www.mrexcel.c...o_training.html

After getting on the web page just hit Control F together and enter the topic you are interested in to quickly find it on the list shown on the Mr. Excel webpage.

One to start with that everyone can use is the way Excel counts Rows with alphabetic entries in Cells Vs. Rows with numbers in the cells counted Vs. both numbers and alpha in the cells.  The results are different if you use the same count command even though there are the same number of rows so watch his video for the tip to make sure your counts are always correct.

video quality could be better but its good enough to learn from and Mr. Excel is the best resource I know of on the internet to answer your Excel questions.

Interesting panel discussion featuring Bill Gates of Microsoft and Sol Kahn of Kahn Academy about using new innovative teaching methods with interactive online self paced learning vs. traditional lecture based same size fits all teaching methods. http://www.thegatesn...WT.tsrc=Twitter

A similar Thai version might be a good use of the computers to be distributed to students and http://www.khanacademy.org/  might be useful now in the international schools.
