GO! With the Internet Comprehensive
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. GO!’s project-based approach clusters the learning objectives around the projects rather than around software features. Teaches
students to solve real problems as they practice and learn the features. Ideal for students and individuals seeking an introduction to Internet Explorer.
