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.

Project-Based Approach: GO!’s project-based approach clusters the learning objectives around the projects, rather than around software features. Overall, this approach teaches students to solve real problems as they practice and learn the features. * Texts are now organized by student learning outcomes and numbered objectives and as always, there are two instructional projects per chapter * Students learn important concepts at the teachable moment, with explanatory text woven right into the steps of the project * Each Project Opening Page clearly outlines Project Activities (what the student will do in this project), Project Files (what starting files are needed, and what their file(s) will be saved as), and Project Results (what their finished project will look like)

Designed for ease of use for students: Based on both professor and student feedback, this text has been designed to provide clear student comprehension.

• Clear Instruction: The steps of each project are written following Microsoft® Procedural Syntax, directing students first on where to go, then what to do when performing tasks
• Clean Design: The pages of the GO! textbook are clean and uncluttered, with lots of screenshots for visual learners
• Sequential Pagination: Pages in the GO! textbooks are numbered sequentially, like every other textbook the student is using, instead of using letters or abbreviations
• Objectives include page references indicating where each objective is covered
• Another Way: This boxed feature provides students with alternative methods of completing tasks. NEW! These boxes are presented in the margin instead of right in line with the steps of the project to avoid confusion
• Steps are color-coded by project and are provided to guide the students throughout
• End-of-Project Icon provides students with a clearly identifiable end point for each project, useful in self-paced or online environments
• Student Videos and Podcasts offer students multimedia tools to help them learn the material covered in the chapter

Designed for ease of implementation for instructors: The GO! series’ one of a kind instructional system provides you with everything you need to prepare for class, teach the material, and assess your students.
