Presentation by Laurel Schenkoske and Yingfei Chen from University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, at the Language Symposium 2012, hosted at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).
Within the scope of the language classroom, learners cannot truly approach real-life application of their skills. So how can we keep our students motivated to practice outside the classroom? As we know, students send text messages, Facebook updates, and Tweets throughout the day. Why not give them the tools to do this in their new language? While social networking sites seem to be taking over our students lives, we as foreign language teachers can use that to our advantage! We will present the case studies of two different forms of social media at play in our own foreign language department: the Chinese programs Facebook , and the German programs Ning. We examine the similarities, differences, and benefits of both for use in L2 learning, and share some statistics that map their respective uses. We also examine whether task-based assignments achieve the best results on both platforms. Both sites allow for discussion postings, blogs, videos, and polls in which students can practice all four language skills, with a special emphasis on the interpersonal mode of communication. When social media is tied to language learning, it encourages students to play with new vocabulary and structures and helps to foster a community atmosphere. Both Facebook and Ning are well suited to accompany any foreign language classroom. Come see how we use each of them in our own foreign language classrooms, and get ideas to implement them in yours!

5. Lesson 3: Edit data and revise worksheetsEach lesson includes a list of suggested tasks and a set of test questions.
6. Create your first workbook Overview: Creating a workbook You've been asked to enter data in Excel, but you're not familiar with the program and wonder how to do some of the basics. This is the place to learn the skills you need to work in Excel—how to create a workbook, enter and edit different kinds of data, and add and delete columns and rows—quickly and with little fuss.
11. Create your first workbook Meet the workbook When you start Excel you're faced with a big empty grid. There are letters across the top, numbers down the left side, tabs at the bottom named Sheet1 and so forth. If you're new to Excel, you may wonder what to do next. We'll begin by helping you get comfortable with some Excel basics that will guide you when you enter data in Excel. How do you get started in Excel?
12. Create your first workbook Workbooks and worksheets When you start Excel, you open a file called a workbook. Each new workbook comes with three worksheets, like pages in a document. You enter data into the worksheets. Each worksheet has a name on its sheet tab at the bottom left of the workbook window: Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3. You view a worksheet by clicking its sheet tab. A blank worksheet in a new workbook
13. Create your first workbook Workbooks and worksheets The first workbook you open is called Book1 in the title bar at the top of the window until you save it with your own title. Sheet tabs are at the bottom of the workbook window. A blank worksheet in a new workbook It’s a good idea to rename the sheet tabs to make the information on each sheet easier to identify.
14. Create your first workbook Workbooks and worksheets You can add additional worksheets if you need more than three. Or if you don’t need as many as three, you can delete one or two (but you don’t have to). You can also use keyboard shortcuts to move between sheets. A blank worksheet in a new workbook
15. Create your first workbook Workbooks and worksheets You may be wondering how to create a new workbook if you’ve already started Excel. Here’s how: On the File menu, click New. In the New Workbook task pane, click Blank workbook. A blank worksheet in a new workbook
16. Create your first workbook Columns, rows, and cells Columns, rows, and cells: That’s what worksheets are made of, and that’s the grid you see when you open up a workbook. Columns go from top to bottom on the worksheet, vertically. Rows go from left to right on the worksheet, horizontally. A cell is the place where one column and one row meet. Columns and rows
17. Create your first workbook Columns, rows, and cells Columns and rows have headings: Each column has an alphabetical heading at the top. Each row has a numeric heading. Columns and rows
18. Create your first workbook Columns, rows, and cells The first 26 columns have the letters from A through Z. Each worksheet contains 256 columns in all, so after Z the letters begin again in pairs, AA through AZ, as the picture shows. Row headings go from 1 through 65,536. Column and row headings
19. Create your first workbook Columns, rows, and cells The alphabetical headings on the columns and the numerical headings on the rows tell you where you are in a worksheet when you click a cell. The headings combine to form the cell address, also called the cell reference. There are 16,777,216 cells to work in on each worksheet. You could get lost without the cell reference to tell you where you are. Column and row headings
20. Create your first workbook Cells are where the data goes Cells are where you get down to business and enter data in a worksheet. The active cell is outlined in black.
21. Create your first workbook Cells are where the data goes When you open a new workbook, the first cell in the upper-left corner of the worksheet you see is outlined in black, indicating that any data you enter will go there. You can enter data wherever you like by clicking any cell in the worksheet to select the cell. But the first cell (or nearby) is not a bad place to start entering data in most cases. The active cell is outlined in black.
22. Create your first workbook Cells are where the data goes When you select any cell, it becomes the active cell. When a cell is active, it is outlined in black, and the headings for the column and the row in which the cell is located are highlighted. The active cell is outlined in black.
23. Create your first workbook Cells are where the data goes For example, if you select a cell in column C on row 5: Column C is highlighted. Row 5 is highlighted. The active cell is shown in the Name Box in the upper-left corner of the worksheet. Cell C5 is selected and is the active cell.
24. Create your first workbook Cells are where the data goes The selected cell has a black outline and is known as C5, which is the cell reference. You can see the cell reference of the active cell by looking in theName Box in the upper-left corner. Cell C5 is selected and is the active cell.
25. Create your first workbook Cells are where the data goes All of these indicators are not too important when you’re right at the very top of the worksheet in the very first few cells. But when you work further and further down or across the worksheet, they can really help you out. Cell C5 is selected and is the active cell. And it’s important to know the cell reference if you need to tell someone where specific data is located in a worksheet.
26. Create your first workbook Suggestions for practice Rename a worksheet tab. Move from one worksheet to another. Add color to sheet tabs. Add, move, and delete worksheets. Review column headings and use the Name Box. Save the workbook. Online practice (requires Excel 2003)
27. Create your first workbook Test 1, question 1 You need a new workbook. How do you create one? (Pick one answer.) On the Insert menu, click Worksheet. On the File menu, click New. In the New Workbook task pane, click Blank workbook. On the Insert menu, click Workbook.
28. Create your first workbook Test 1, question 1: Answer On the File menu, click New. In the New Workbook task pane, click Blank workbook. Now you’re ready to start.
29. Create your first workbook Test 1, question 2 The Name Box shows you the contents of the active cell (Pick one answer.) True. False.
30. Create your first workbook Test 1, question 2: Answer False. The Name Box gives you the cell reference of the active cell. You can also use the Name Box to select a cell, by typing that cell reference in the box.
31. Create your first workbook Test 1, question 3 In a new worksheet, you must start by typing in cell A1. (Pick one answer.) True. False.
32. Create your first workbook Test 1, question 3: Answer False. You’re free to roam and type wherever you want. Click in any cell and start to type. But don’t make readers scroll to see data that could just as well start in cell A1 or A2.
34. Create your first workbook Enter data You can enter two basic kinds of data into worksheet cells: numbers and text. You can use Excel to create budgets, work with taxes, record student grades, or even track daily exercise or the cost of a remodel. Professional or personal, the possibilities are nearly endless. Now let’s dive in to data entry. You can use Excel to enter all sorts of data.
35. Create your first workbook Start with column titles (be kind to readers) When you enter data, it’s a good idea to start by entering titles at the top of each column, so that anyone who shares your worksheet can understand what the data means (and so that you can understand it yourself, later on). You’ll often want to enter row titles too. Worksheet with column and row titles
36. Create your first workbook Start with column titles (be kind to readers) In the picture: The column titles are the months of the year, across the top of the worksheet. The row titles down the left side are company names. Worksheet with column and row titles
37. Create your first workbook Start with column titles (be kind to readers) This worksheet shows whether or not a representative from each company attended a monthly business lunch. Worksheet with column and row titles
38. Create your first workbook Start typing Say that you’re creating a list of salespeople names. The list will also have the dates of sales, with their amounts. So you will need these column titles: Name, Date, and Amount. Press TAB and ENTER to move from cell to cell.
39. Create your first workbook Start typing You don’t need row titles down the left side of the worksheet in this case; the salespeople names will be in the leftmost column. You would type “Date” in cell B1 and press TAB. Then you’d type “Amount” in cell C1. Press TAB and ENTER to move from cell to cell.
40. Create your first workbook Start typing After you typed the column titles, you’d click in cell A2 to begin typing the names of the salespeople. You would type the first name, and then press ENTER to move the selection down one cell to cell A3 (down the column), and then type the next name, and so on. Press TAB and ENTER to move from cell to cell.
41. Create your first workbook Enter dates and times To enter a date in column B, the Date column, you should use a slash or a hyphen to separate the parts: 7/16/2005 or 16-July-2005. Excel will recognize this as a date. Text aligned on the left and dates on the right
42. Create your first workbook Enter dates and times If you need to enter a time, you would type the numbers, a space, and then “a” or “p” — for example, 9:00 p. If you put in just the number, Excel recognizes a time and enters it as AM. Tip: To enter today’s date, press CTRL and the semicolon together. To enter the current time, press CTRL and SHIFT and the semicolon all at once. Text aligned on the left and dates on the right
43. Create your first workbook Enter numbers To enter the sales amounts in column C, the Amount column, you would type the dollar sign, followed by the amount. Excel aligns numbers on the right side of cells.
44.
45. To enter a fraction only, enter a zero first. For example, 0 1/4. If you enter 1/4 without the zero, Excel will interpret the number as a date, January 4.Excel aligns numbers on the right side of cells.
46.
47. Create your first workbook Quick ways to enter data Here are two timesavers you can use to enter data in Excel: AutoFill. Enter the months of the year, the days of the week, multiples of 2 or 3, or other data in a series. As the animation shows, you type one or more entries, and then extend the series. Animation: Right-click, and click Play. A quick way to enter data
48. Create your first workbook Quick ways to enter data Here are two timesavers you can use to enter data in Excel: AutoFill. Enter the months of the year, the days of the week, multiples of 2 or 3, or other data in a series. You type one or more entries, and then extend the series. A quick way to enter data
49. Create your first workbook Quick ways to enter data Here are two timesavers you can use to enter data in Excel: AutoComplete. If the first few letters you type in a cell match an entry you’ve already made in that column, Excel will fill in the remaining characters for you. Just press ENTER when you see them added. A quick way to enter data
50. Create your first workbook Suggestions for practice Enter data using TAB and ENTER. Fix mistakes as you type. Enter dates and times. Enter numbers. Use AutoFill. Use AutoComplete. Fix text that’s too long for a cell. Online practice (requires Excel 2003)
51. Create your first workbook Test 2, question 1 Pressing ENTER moves the selection one cell to the right. (Pick one answer.) True. False.
52. Create your first workbook Test 2, question 1: Answer False. ENTER moves down. Press TAB to move to the right.
53. Create your first workbook Test 2, question 2 To enter a fraction such as 1/4, the first thing you enter is _____. (Pick one answer.) One. Zero. Minus sign.
54. Create your first workbook Test 2, question 2: Answer Zero. Enter 0 1/4. That will appear as 0.25 in the formula bar.
55. Create your first workbook Test 2, question 3 To enter the months of the year without typing each month yourself you’d use: (Pick one answer.) AutoComplete. AutoFill. CTRL+ENTER.
56. Create your first workbook Test 2, question 3: Answer AutoFill. Use AutoFill to complete lists that you’ve begun, such as days, weeks, or times tables.
58. Create your first workbook Edit data and revise worksheets Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and sometimes data that you entered correctly needs to be changed later on. Sometimes the whole worksheet needs a change. In this lesson we'll learn how to edit data and how to add and delete worksheet columns and rows. Edit data, insert columns, and insert rows.
59. Create your first workbook Edit data Say that you meant to enter Peacock’s name in cell A2, but you entered Buchanan’s name by mistake. Now you spot the error and want to correct it. Two ways to select a cell
60. Create your first workbook Edit data You need to select the cell, and there are two ways: Double-click a cell to edit the data in it. Click the cell, and then edit the data in the formula bar. Two ways to select a cell
61. Create your first workbook Edit data What’s the difference? Your convenience. You may find the formula bar, or the cell itself, easier to work with. If you’re editing data in many cells, you can keep your pointer at the formula bar while you move from cell to cell by using the keyboard. Two ways to select a cell
62. Create your first workbook Edit data As the picture shows, after you select the cell: The worksheet says Edit in the lower-left corner, on the status bar. If you don’t see the status bar, click Status Bar on the View menu. The worksheet now says Edit in the status bar.
63. Create your first workbook Edit data While the worksheet is in Edit mode, many commands are temporarily unavailable (these commands are gray on the menus). What can you do? Well, you can delete letters or numbers by pressing BACKSPACE, or by selecting them and then pressing DELETE. The worksheet now says Edit in the status bar.
64. Create your first workbook Edit data You can edit letters or numbers by selecting them and then typing something different. You can insert new letters or numbers into the cell’s data by positioning the insertion point and typing them. The worksheet now says Edit in the status bar.
65. Create your first workbook Edit data Whatever you do, when you’re all through, remember to press ENTER or TAB so that your changes stay in the cell. The worksheet now says Edit in the status bar.
