10 Google Sheets tricks you (probably) don’t know about

On By

Google Sheets might look a little scary and a bit threatening at first glance but once you take the time to unlock its secrets you’ll discover that it can do so much more than just crunch numbers.

So how can we get started using Google Sheets ourselves? And what are some great Google Sheets activities that we can use with our students?

During our weekly #DitchBook Twitter chat (Thursdays at 7 p.m. PST / 8 p.m. MST / 9 p.m. CST / 10 p.m. EST), hosted by Craig Klement, we discussed these questions and more. We even had some Google Sheets gurus stop by the chat to drop their knowledge and share some ideas for unlocking the power of Sheets!
