The social studies book __**The Western Wor****ld**__ by Holt McDougal is on each student's iPad. The book is in an ePub format which allows us to access it in iBooks giving us the ability to highlight, take notes, look up words and create bookmarks. The students are also able to easily e-mail me any notes or bookmarks. This was used last year with our 6th grade pilot group so I speak from experience when I say it enhances the way the students interact with the text.
