Here are some examples of empowerment technology: Computers and the internet: These technologies can be used to access information, communicate with others, and learn new skills. Mobile phones: These devices can be used to stay connected with friends and family, access healthcare services, and conduct financial transactions. Social media: These platforms can be used to connect with others, share information, and organize for social change. E-learning: This method of learning allows people to access educational resources from anywhere in the world. Assistive technology: This technology is designed to help people with disabilities participate more fully in society. Empowerment technology has the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of people around the world. It can help to bridge the digital divide, improve educational opportunities, and empower people to make their own decisions. Here are some of the benefits of empowerment technology: Improved access to information and knowledge Increased opportunities for education and training Enhanced communication and collaboration Increased civic engagement and participation Improved decision-making and problem-solving skills Increased economic opportunities Improved health and well-being Increased social justice and equity Empowerment technology is a powerful tool that can be used to improve the lives of people around the world. However, it is important to note that technology is not a silver bullet. It is only as good as the people who use it. It is important to ensure that everyone has access to empowerment technology and that it is used in a way that is ethical and responsible.

36. Wrap Up
A Workbook is the document itself when you open
your Excel. A Spreadsheet on the other hand is just
one portion of your document.
Formulas in Excel works as your normal arithmetic
operations but you need to place an equal sign (=)
before performing any operation between two or more
values. Functions on the other hand are specialized
operations with assigned names of actions that use
formulas and return a value.
36

37. Wrap Up
As you open an Excel document, you will see the
following parts:
37
○ Cell that contains the input values
○ Row Number
○ Column Letter
○ Name Box that shows the name of
the selected cell which contains a
column letter and a row number
○ Formula Bar for the computations
○ Ribbon which contains tools
○ Quick Access Toolbar that shows
the commonly used tools such as
Undo, Redo, and Save
○ Spreadsheet Tab where you can see
the different sheets available on your
workbook
○ Status Bar where you can see the
current status of your document and
the view shortcuts

38. Wrap Up
The Ribbon contains different Excel Tabs that contain
the different tools depending on your needs. The
different tabs you can check are File, Home, Insert,
Draw, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, and Review.
Spreadsheets are important because they contain the
information and data. You can add, delete, move,
customize, protect, and edit these sheets through
Spreadsheet Options.
38

39. Wrap Up
Cells contain the values you have input. There are
ways to adjust, select, add, or delete cells based on
your needs.
Basic formatting allows you to change the look of
your data tables.
