1) Paperback Book Technology in Action (3rd Edition) (Go Series for Microsoft Office 2003) by Prentice Hall. i did not ever receive my item. i want my book or my money back please. i will let others know not to shop with you all. have a nice day.¤ 2) Paperback Book Technology in Action (3rd Edition) (Go Series for Microsoft Office 2003) by Prentice Hall. I got a great price on the book but, I didn´t receive the book as I should.¤ 3) Paperback Book Technology in Action (3rd Edition) (Go Series for Microsoft Office 2003) by Prentice Hall. Needed it for class and it suited my needs. Only complaint is I couldn´t sell it back to my college´s bookstore because it was the complete version versus the standard student copy. The only difference is it has extra information/chapters in the back. The entire beginning is the student copy, it just has extra chapters. I was shocked they wouldn´t take it back. If you need this book for a class get it here. Good price.¤ 4) Paperback Book Technology in Action (3rd Edition) (Go Series for Microsoft Office 2003) by Prentice Hall. There are many books that could be used in the introduction to computers level of classes. They tend to be very similar, in topics, order and structure. While this book is more of the same, there is one feature that stands out, the coverage of ethics in the context of computing. Ethics and the proper usage of computers is a significant aspect of the computing culture for all of us, but it is more significant for the college student. The advent of the Internet has made it much easier to obtain information and harder to filter it for accuracy. It is now much easier to plagiarize; all you have to do is copy and paste. Fortunately, it is also easier for instructors to identify an act of plagiarism; there are websites that will do it for you. The digitization of music makes it easy to download and play music on MP3 players. This list could continue for some time.
There are several places in the book where ethical principles are related to the topic. It is to the credit of the authors that this coverage is not just a spouting of facts; the questions are designed to have the students think about the situation and reach their own ethical conclusions.
It is most unlikely that I will ever teach an introductory course in computing again. However, if I was to do so, I would take a hard look at this book, it is suitable for the course.
¤ 5) Paperback Book Technology in Action (3rd Edition) (Go Series for Microsoft Office 2003) by Prentice Hall. Technology in Action is a great book for college-level computer concepts classes. I have taught with Technology in Action at a community college for 4 years now. The book is written to engage today´s students with a very useful question and answer format. I find my students are reading again since using Technology in Action!
My students also love the multimedia that comes on the CD (packaged with the text) which they describe as entertaining, informative and fun! Wow, students who think learning is fun...what a concept!
I highly recommend this text for freshman and sophomore computer concepts classes. This is a book your students will read and enjoy!¤ 6) Paperback Book Technology in Action (3rd Edition) (Go Series for Microsoft Office 2003) by Prentice Hall. Features *Part of the GO!
