A Computer Concepts Text Focused on Today’s Student! Technology in Action engages students by combining a unique teaching approach with rich companion media.
Q: Do you agree that today's students often have a greater comfort level with today's digital environment? Do you find that students would rather learn about the fun and productive things computers can do as opposed to a history lesson on computer hardware?
A: Technology in Action engages students by combining a unique teaching approach with rich companion media. It teaches the practical concepts students want to learn (such as setting up a wireless network in their home) while still covering material they need to learn (such as how networks function).
Q: How would you like to use media technology to engage your students in and out of the classroom, while effectively training and assessing them on computer concepts?
A: Technology in Action's rich companion media, including the unique Active Helpdesk and SoundBytes have proven to engage students in and out of the classroom while providing essential training on computer concepts. Active Helpdesk now includes assessment after each call and reporting capabilities!
Q: As a professor, are you challenged with trying to create your ideal introductory computers course, with engaging media and proper assessment, while maintaining your regular class schedule?
A: Working hand-in-hand,a new Technology in Action Annotated Instructor Edition provides chapter-by-chapter recommendations from the authors on how to successfully use the companion media and resources in a course, while the new Instructor Resource CD allows you to reorganize and customize assets to fit your own teaching style.
OTHER POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION:
The Student Textbook
- A unique approach teaches computer technology the way students would actually experience it is real life, not a history lesson on computers. The topic sequence has concepts covered using a spiraling approach between chapters in order to mirror the typical student learning experience (Example: Computer hardware is introduced in Chapter 2, but then covered in greater depth in Chapters 6 and 10.)
- Numbered objectives posed as questions open each chapter and outline what the student will learn in the chapter.
- Visual media cues at the bottom of the textbook pages indicate the companion media (Active Helpdesk, SoundBytes) that aligns with the text material.
- Question and Answer format of the material throughout the text is designed to keep students engaged by a constant dialogue.
- NEW! Interior design is even more student friendly and updated with images of current technology.
- Dig Deeper sections cover technical topics in depth to challenge more advanced students.
- Bits and Bytes sections, students learn how to maintain their computers, how to develop good habits for safe computing, as well as other interesting facts about computers.
- Trends in IT sections explore new and emerging technologies, computers in society, careers in computing, and ethical considerations involved in computing.
- Behind The Scenes keep more experienced students engaged and challenge them with interesting research assignments. For students ready to go beyond the basics, these special chapters venture deeper into the realm of computing through in-depth explanations of how elements of the system unit (CPU, motherboard, RAM) work.
- Comprehensive end-of-chapter material provides ample review that is tied to real-world student experiences.
- Multiple Choice, True/False exercises provide additional review and reinforcement for students.
- Multimedia page outlines how the media components, Active Helpdesk, SoundBytes, and Companion Website, work in the chapter.
- Transition to the next semester assignments cover topics like using the Web on campus.
- Transition to the workplace assignments cover topics like research for resume writing.
- Critical Thinking Questions are designed to demand the full attention of the student.
- Team Activities are designed for instructors want to use team projects, but need some structure.
-
- SafariX eTextbook is also available.
Integrated Media
- Updated! SoundBytes
Updated for currency, these multimedia lessons demystify computer concepts with audio and video presentations. SoundByte Labs add addition quizzing functionality after each topic. - Active Helpdesk with Assessment
These highly interactive, engaging, almost game-like media places the student in a role of a helpdesk staffer answering computer technology questions from callers.- A virtual supervisor provides support to the student throughout the calls as in real-life.
- Assessment questions after each call provide instructors with a tool to gauge and track students’ progress. A performance report can be printed, saved, or emailed.
- Features a Spanish transcript your students can access while using the Active Helpdesk!
-
- Companion Website
- Prenhall.com/techinaction features an interactive study guide, downloadable supplements, additional Web Research Projects, Web resource links such as Careers in IT and crossword puzzles, plus bonus chapters on the latest trends and hottest topics in information technology.
- VangoNotes Study Guide
Study on the go with VangoNotes. Just download chapter reviews from your text and listen to them on any mp3 player. Now wherever you are--whatever you’re doing--you can study by listening to the following for each chapter of your textbook:
Big Ideas: Your “need to know” for each chapter
Practice Test: A gut check for the Big Ideas — tells you if you need to keep studying
Key Terms: Audio “flashcards” to help you review key concepts and terms
Rapid Review: A quick drill session — use it right before your test
-
VangoNotes are flexible; download all the material directly to your player, or only the chapters you need. And they’re efficient. Use them in your car, at the gym, walking to class, wherever. So get yours today. And get studying.
- Introducing the Technology in Action Instructional System!
- Annotated Instructor Edition
Provides chapter-by-chapter recommendations by the authors on how they successfully use the instructor resources and companion media components in a course for classroom, homework, and assessment. You have the choice of following the recommendations or customizing your course with the NEW! Instructor Resource CD.Instructor Resource CD
Designed to work hand-in-hand with the Annotated Instructor Edition, this new Instructor Resource CD allows you to re-organize and customize resources and media to fit your own teaching style. Starting with pre-built course recommendations as presented in the Annotated Instructor Edition, you can re-organize, remove, or change assets to align perfectly with your course (ex. move classroom assignment to homework).Audio-Enhanced Presentations
Based on traditional PowerPoint presentations and delivered in Flash, these are ideal for lecture reinforcement and for online courses.
