mamato4girls Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Has anyone used their ebooks yet? Any program, just curious if they are nice, well laid out, how much printing? Can you acess them from an iPad or Kindle fire? Would love feedback on children around the world, ebook regular, as well! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Lilac Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would suggest giving them a call. They're very helpful on the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3peasinapod Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 You might get more responses from the WP forums also, but they are pretty dead most of the time. There are a few people there that can answer your question, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy in TN Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I am using the print editions of CATW. I know that Bev on the WP boards, who also moderates the Yahoo group, purchased the CATW ebooks. I purchase only exclusives from WP and this year I purchased in early spring before the change, because I wanted to use the version that used How People Live as the spine. We just started this past week. We completed 2 days from week 1. After 2 days I am very excited about this year! However, I don't want to jump up and down too much after 2 days. We will be choosing our own readers that will generally be tied to CATW. Although we will not be doing the weekly country reports, many of our composition assignments will be tied to CATW. We will not be using the Bible study for CATW, The Prayer & Personal Involvement Journal. Here are the rows we will be using from the IG: Country Study Children of Many Lands* DK's How People Live Cultural Study Material World Working Children* Ideas for Great Experiences- These are suggestions in the IG and we will use selections from this row Geography Study Travel with Me! Maps & Figures* Weekly Geography Review- These are suggestions in the IG Cutural Gathering Cultural Gathering- These are suggestions in the IG Working on My Own! Make-Your-Own World Travels Diary* Travel with Me! Student Map* Draw Your World* *These are WP exclusives. It is a pretty full geography study. I think that the amount and variety of of output is going to work for my 4th grader. It seems to be a program that does a good job at falling nicely between a program that is primarily output in the form of mapping and a program that is primarily cultural input through literature.

teeniebeenie6 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've read you have to put a code in everytime you use your ebook. Something just to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianeW88 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I have the CAW ebooks. They are beautiful, but they are not complete. I was only sent the first four weeks. Hopefully the rest of it will be available by August. I have them both on my PC and on my Ipad. I love them on my Ipad. I can go to the library to get extra books and videos and not have to drag a huge print IG with me. The ebooks that go along with each country are gorgeous. Full color photos that look amazing on the Ipad. The maps are so pretty and I'm excited to use them. Crossing my fingers the rest of the course will be completed before I need to start our year this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
