Technology In Action Introductory

by Alan Evans, Kendall Martin, Mary Anne Poatsy

For introductory courses in computer concepts, digital literacy, or computer literacy, often including instruction in Microsoft Office. Explore, discover, and experience technology with the interactive and adaptive Technology in Action ―the book that uses technology to teach technology! This book offers a learning system that pushes the envelope of what is possible in technology, and what is helpful in teaching. Although students are more comfortable with the digital environment than ever, their knowledge of the devices they use every day is still limited. The authors focus on tasks that students can accomplish with their devices, and skills they can apply immediately in the workplace, the classroom, and at home. This book fits the way students are learning today.

[Theresa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This textbook presents excellent information in the technological sense. It does however ask questions without direct answers, instead these questions coming before a paragraph tend to be the question the reader may want to ask the author at that point of reading the textbook while the following paragraph does not present the author actually responding. The glossary in the back is more accurate in giving definitions than the chapters talking about these terms in detail. This is the only reason that this textbook is not getting a five star. It is worth buying and reading. It is simple to understand in this technologically advancing world. I am currently using it for a three credit college class called "Introduction to computers" It is well liked in class, and has excellent pictures and support material for both teachers and students.
