Essential Computing Skills 2nd edition uses a highly visual instructional design to provide learners with a solid foundation in computer concepts, the Internet, email, Windows, and cloud computing.
Essential Computing Skills 2nd Edition combines streamlined content, visually
appealing interactive tools, and tiered end-of-lesson exercises
to quicken the pace of skill development for every learner.
New! This second edition covers content for both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. The content of this new edition is almost identical to the 1st edition. We have replaced references to Windows 8 with the new 8.1. This change includes references to SkyDrive that have been renamed by Microsoft to OneDrive. These minor changes did result in a slight shift in page numbering.
In today's digital world, knowing how to use computers effectively is critical. Our goal is to teach new users how to take advantage of computer technology and use
it to be successful in school and at work. We begin with brief concept discussions
and quickly move to hands-on activities focused on skills development. Learners are
led through exercises using visually appealing, interactive tools and then they are
challenged to complete exercises on their own.
Topics cover computer concepts, Windows, email, using the internet, and cloud computing.
