Abstract
The availability and general characteristics of popular spreadsheet programs, especially LOTUS 1-2-3, are first discussed. Then the instructional uses of such programs in economics are surveyed, specifically spreadsheets simply as a computational environment, with such additional @functions as an enhanced computational environment, with content-specific templates as an instructional environment, and as the medium for computer-managed instruction. Keywords: @functions, CALC, spreadsheet (worksheet), template.Keywords
