Description
Need a fun way to introduce Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to upper elementary or middle school students? This great lesson incorporates Thanksgiving themed art as students learn the basics of either Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. First, they’ll create a quick pixel art from a given example and then they’ll create their own! A full tutorial is included for both Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. These are also fun lessons to use if you just need something for a one day lesson.
