I use spreadsheets everyday. The job I have in the district involves a lot of data analysis. We have changed some of our districts policies and procedures based on analysis done using spreadsheets.
While I'm not currently in a classroom, I could see where spreadsheets could also help make data based decisions. Spreadsheets could help the teacher determine things like 'how many students that averaged an 80% or better on homework scored an 80% or better on the test?' Grade analysis could help the teacher determine what adaptations or changes need to be made in instruction.
I find that tracking data and analyzing it through spreadsheets helps me make better decisions on policy and procedure for the district.

I think it is awesome that your so fluent in the use of spreadsheets. In all honesty the implementation of spreadsheets is the major reason I took this class. I want to be better and hopefully I can be through this class. I may need to ask for your assistance though and maybe you can teach me a few tricks along the way.

You are right, as we move more into data-based decisions the idea of a spreadsheet is so important - and with something like Google Spreadsheets allowing collaboration it is going to truly assist.
