The example used in the iBook, provides a mock lesson for students using these resources. The students are encouraged to learn about the New Deal through seeing its programs in reality. Finding Works Progress Administration effects on the community show the governments involvement and the impact that Roosevelt's New Deal washed over society in a positive way.
Using the iPad to conduct research is a fantastic way to encourage learning. Many of the websites that students use are interactive. More specifically, the student can watch videos, hear audio, view images and read about the research topic.
