When I was an elementary school student, we had a computer lab full of brand new IBM PS/2 and installed on them was the Microsoft Works suite.

This old version of Microsoft Works had a complete interactive tutorial on all the parts of the suite (Word processor, spreadsheet, database). A big part of our time learning computers was going through that tutorial. It was actually interesting and fun calculating numbers in the spreadsheet and advancing the tutorial.

To this day, my understanding of Excel comes from my time in that class. It's certainly not the worst class I had with computers in my lifetime.
