You'll find Working With Computers to be a fun and challenging text that teaches computer concepts and terminology within the context of hands-on activities. It includes word processing, spreadsheet, database, graphics and desktop publishing, and presentation graphics activities. The content is generic so the book can be used with almost any software. Case studies and software integration activities appear throughout the text, and a capstone simulation at the end of the book provides students with the opportunity to use their newly-learned skills in a realistic manner. Used in combination with one of our popular Step-by-Step Series books (to provide simple, effective software instruction), you'll have an unbeatable combination of instructional tools that you can keep current at a manageable cost.
