5.0 out of 5 stars Funny stuff here, September 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lighter Side of Technology in Education (Paperback)

I teach computers in high school and can relate to the cartoons in this book. In fact, I use a few of them on my inter school memos. They're attention grabbers. The cartoons are funny and each has a nugget of truth in it which any teacher can recognize.
I love this book.

There's some funny stuff in this book! I teach computers in a public school and the situations portrayed in this adorable volume seem familiar, with a humorous twist. These cartoons are professionally sketched and make wonderful intro pieces for our school's in-service courses where our staff can upgrade their computer skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Antidote to Computer Frustration, March 7, 2003

This review is from: The Lighter Side of Technology in Education (Paperback)

Great work! These are funny on-target cartoons. If you use a computer you've already visited these situations but now you can laugh about it. Even if you don't know a hard drive from a memory stick, get this book and laugh a little before you boot up. Teachers beware! You're going to have a smile on your face every time you go near that computer in school.
