What do I think about using spreadsheets and databases in my classroom?

I think that using spreadsheets in a classroom can be a very good teaching tool. Spreadsheets help students analyze and interpret a lot of research and numbers very easily, as well as helps students formulate graphs with few complications. Database programs on the other hand is not really beneficial for students. It is a complicated program which takes a lot of training in order to use the program effectively, unless the basic types of database programs are available. It still seems like too much trouble and other programs can be substituted and more easily used.
