Our job as computer trainers is to help accelerate learning and "make it stick." And analogies can do just that! The Accelerate Computer Learning With Analogies book contains over 700 analogies you can use to explain computer concepts and terms. The book includes analogies collected from over 2,000 experienced computer trainers who attended Susan Boyd's Analogies workshops at national computer training conferences and local user group meetings. 

Sample Analogy - Improper Shut Down Procedure:

You need to properly close applications and shut down before turning off your computer. If you don't, your computer is forced to crash, just like the painter who crashes to the ground when someone takes the ladder away while he is still working!

Pictures too!
In addition, because we all know that "a picture is worth a thousand words," 28 of the most popular analogies are illustrated to help you get the point across. Your purchase price of the book includes the right to make one set of overhead transparencies of the original artwork. If you wish to reproduce the illustrations in training manuals and other written materials, or scan the pictures into presentation slide shows, you can purchase a licensing agreement for the artwork for a $200 fee. Contact Susan Boyd Associates at (215) 886-2669 for questions about licensing. Colorful posters of the artwork are now available. Complete the poster order form and submit with payment.
