Strengths and Weaknesses

After completing the UNI survey, I felt like I was facing a new reality.  Some areas that I previously would have considered myself to be an "expert" I discovered I was in fact a practitioner.  There are a few areas that I would still feel confident in calling myself an expert.  I feel accomplished in the areas of operating a multimedia computer system and using the internet to find reliable information.  I also became aware of some areas where I was very weak.  I am very weak in using spreadsheets.  I would say my skill level is Novice.  I understand why we use spreadsheets and can create simple spreadsheets but I know that my skills do not take full advantage of what programs like Excel have to offer.  My husband is what I would consider to be an expert with spreadsheets.  In the past, I have just had him create what I need but I know that he cannot always do this for me.  I can have him give me a crash course in excel and I can also use the free tutorial at www.LearnMicrosoftExcel.com  this will help me in reaching higher levels of knowledge with the program.  I would like to be able to use excel for formula and inputting information relevant to my students for health calculations such as BMIs or other things relating to health.
