Sharp gives teachers enough of a general education about personal computers, so that they can in turn instruct their students. A range of usages is explained. Like browsing on the Web. This is reinforced by a quick tour of how to write HTML. Spreadsheets and databases are also briefly gone into. Several choices of spreadsheets are suggested. Microsoft's Excel, of course. But also Corel's Quattro Pro and Appleworks.

The more advanced sections of the book pertain to integrating computers into the classroom. Where the classes appear to be mostly at the high school level. The book offers advice on how to get and use public domain software and shareware. You also get a synopsis of learning theories that involve technology integration.

If you are a teacher, be aware that some of your students are likely to know most of the material in the book, as well as other uses. Like Instant Messaging and the downloading of material via peer to peer networks. If you encounter such students, a good pragmatic suggestion is to solicit their assistance in educating you.

Our teacher tested us after every chapter in this book so I know what I am saying. This author doesn't appear to be very computer savvy. I thought this book may have been published in 1985 and they just reprinted it. She dives nothing new and exciting and her writing style is not for college-level. Nothing is cutting edge. Everything written you can find on the internet.
