When I was in elementary school, back when dinosaurs roamed, my grade 7 class did the entire Microsoft Works (for DOS) tutorial application. This was designed for adults but it was a fully interactive tutorial on how use the word processor, spreadsheet, and database components of Works. It took several weeks of 1 hour-per-week computing lab classes to finish.
I was already pretty tech-savvy in those days but that was still one of the best things I learned as a kid computer-wise. The fundamental principles of a spreadsheet has never changed and I learned it as a 12 year old.
