About your course materials
Emphasizing digital literacy, DISCOVERING COMPUTERS: DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY, DATA, AND DEVICES, 17th edition, explains not only the basics of technology, but also how students will use it and the responsibilities of being a digital citizen. Focusing on current technology, the authors make no assumptions about which device or platform students are using but address convergence between device capabilities. Modules integrate practical how-to, ethics and security topics, while Consider This boxes woven throughout promote critical thinking. Students get hands-on practice applying what they learn through end-of-module checkpoint questions, small group activities, problem-solving exercises and more. MindTap digital learning solution is also available. With an inviting approach that ensures understanding, DISCOVERING COMPUTERS equips students with the information they need for success at home, school and work.
