Feature Summary

You may ask yourself,
“What does this stuff have to do with the real world?”



It’s all about motivation.

Computing Essentials 2002-2003 provides a complete learning package that helps you relate what you are learning to everyday, real life situations.

Making IT Work for You sections feature interesting topics such as downloading music from the Internet, creating personal Websites, and using the Internet to make long-distance phone calls, to help you understand the importance of IT to everyday situations. Many of these are supported by short video presentations available on the Web.
Making IT Work Videos are designed to give you a different perspective on the course. Now you can hear directly from the author on important topics. It’s video-based, easy to use, and fun to watch.
End-of-Chapter Materials also interest a variety of students: o Using Technology – These Web-related exercises explore current popular uses of technology. o Expanding Your Knowledge – Geared for those who want more in-depth technical coverage on chapter topics, these questions either correspond to the Interactive Companion CD that is packaged with the text or require Web research. o Building Your Portfolio – Develop critical thinking and writing skills by focusing on a critical chapter-related privacy, security, or ethical issue.

Student Online Learning Center: For each chapter, the Student Online Learning Center offers both a review of the text material and additional exercises.
