computers, most readers already know how to use Information Technology (IT) in their daily lives-but use is not understanding. More than ever, they must become "computational thinkers," able to conceptualize where and how computation can be used effectively. Equipping readers with a deeper understanding of the broad capabilities of technology, Fluency with Information Technology, 7th Edition uses a project-oriented learning approach supported by examples and realistic problem-solving scenarios. Authors Larry Snyder and Ray Henry teach readers to navigate IT independently and become effective users of today's resources, forming a foundation of skills they can adapt to their personal and career goals as future technologies emerge. The text's approach is centered on three types of content-skills, concepts, and capabilities-that prepare readers to adapt to an ever-changing computing environment. This 7th Edition incorporates updates and new content that mirrors the way contemporary readers encounter technology in their lives.
