Description
Need a fun way to introduce Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to middle school students? This great lesson incorporates Valentine’s Day themed art as students learn the basics of Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. First, they’ll create a quick pixel art from a given example and then they’ll create their own! These are also fun lessons to use if you just need something for a one day lesson or to leave with a sub.
I’ve used these with 7th and 8th graders who love creating their own artistic pixel art too!
