This paper describes the authors’ experience using Snyder’s “Fluency with Information Technology” textbook in an undergraduate Introduction to Information Systems course. Unlike many traditional Information Systems textbooks, Snyder’s book is focused solely on Information Technology. Topics covered in this paper include our justification for using Snyder’s textbook, strengths and weaknesses of the textbook for an IS course, and the implementation and replacement of the textbook’s student lab exercises.

Keywords: information systems education, information technology, fluency with information technology
