Teach the course YOU want in LESS TIME! The primary goal of the GO! Series, aside from teaching computer applications, is ease of implementation, with an approach that is based on clearly-defined projects for students and a one of a kind supplements package. 

 


 

Q: As a professor, are you challenged to do more in the classroom with fewer resources and less time? Tired of spending day and night grading projects and assignments? 

 

A: As a professor for over 15 years, Shelley Gaskin has used many different computer applications texts and found that none of the current texts on the market addressed all the needs for today’s diverse classroom and student body. The GO! System of learning is written with your everyday classroom realities in mind. 

 

Q: Are your students concerned that they lack the basic computer skills needed to succeed in today's environment? Are they frustrated by textbooks that are confusing and hard to comprehend?

 

A:  The Go! Series teaches essential computer application skills needed in today's world by taking students through real-life projects that are clearly written and logically arranged.

 

Q: When teaching an introductory course in Web design or programming, do you look for unique types of assignments and projects?

 

A: This text features two unique end-of-chapter review projects, covering experimenting with code and debugging, along with three additional projects positioned after the last chapter for use as a possible running project.

 

Q: Do your student sometimes find it time consuming and tricky to download the necessary data files for their assignments from publishers’ Websites?

 

A: To make students’ lives easier we have affixed a copy of the Student CD in every copy of the textbook. It contains all the necessary data files required for the exercises in this text.

 

OTHER POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION:

  • Project-oriented chapters–Represents the problem to be solved by mastering the learning objectives.
    • Answers students number one question: What do I have to do?, and then assists them in implementing it.
  • Project-focused approach–Clusters the learning objectives around the projects rather than around software features. The end product is clearly presented.
    • Teaches students to solve real problems as they practice and learn the features in conjunction with a logical end product.
  • Teachable moment theory–Does not use tedious paragraphs of expository text; rather, concepts are woven into the steps at the teachable moment.
    • Enables students to have a context in which to understand the concept as it is presented, preventing boredom and frustration brought about by long passages of text.
  • Sequential Page Numbering–Each text is numbered sequentially, for example: Page 1 to Page 100. 
  • One-of-a-Kind Instructor's Resource Kit includes a fully-annotated instructor's edition and five unique supplements to help all instructors implement the course quickly and with as little effort as possible:

    • Annotated Instructor's Edition on CD. The Annotated Instructor's Edition (AIE) CD contains the entire book, wrapped with vital margin notes, including objectives, a list of files needed for the chapter, teaching tips, and MORE!
    • Expert Demonstration Document. An identical image of each in-chapter Project, accompanied by a brief script. Use it to give an expert demonstration of each Objective covered in the chapter without having to use one of the valuable in-chapter projects. This EDD also prevents students from working ahead during the lecture, as they do not have access to this document/project.
    • Chapter Assignment Worksheets. A sheet listing all of the assignments for the chapter, where you can quickly insert your name, course information, due dates, and points. Providing these to students ensures they always know what is due, when, and in what format.
    • Custom Assignment Tags. These tags, which are meant to be cut out and attached to assignments, serve a dual purpose; the student can do a final check to make sure all the listed items are correct, and the instructor can quickly check off the items that need to be corrected and simply return the assignment.
    • Annotated Overlays. Instructors want to assign Projects but don't have time to grade! These transparencies are placed over each student's project to see at a glance if they successfully completed all the steps in the project. Coupled with the Custom Assignment Tags, this creates a grading and scoring system that is easy for you to implement and assign to your students. These are also available in PDF files for review of homework assignments in distance learning courses.
    • Point Counted Chapter Production Test. Working hand-in-hand with the Expert Demonstration Document, this is a final test for the student to demonstrate mastery of the Objectives. These are pre-created for each chapter, project, and application to save you time.
