The Williams, Using Information Technology, 9th edition utilizes a
practical, applied approach to technology. This text is user-focused
and has been highly updated including topics, pictures and examples.
The Williams text contains less theory and more application to engage
students who might be more familiar with technology. Continually
published and updated for over 15 years, Using Information Technology
was the first text to foresee and define the impact of digital
convergence, the fusion of computers and communications. It was also
the first text to acknowledge the new priorities imposed by the Internet
and World Wide Web and bring discussion of them from late in the
course to the beginning. Today, it is directed toward the “Always On”
generation that is at ease with digital technology, comfortable with
iPhones, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and the blogosphere,
but not always savvy about its processes, possibilities, and
liabilities. This 9th edition continues to address the two most
significant challenges that instructors face in teaching this course:
Trying to make the course interesting and challenging, and trying to
teach to students with a variety of computer backgrounds. This text
also correlates with SimNet Online, our online training and
assessment program for the MS Office Suite and also computing concepts!
