Global iBook

A Global iBook

Authored by educators and students from around the world!

The Global iBook is a collaborative project between schools across the world.

The idea came from Apple Distinguished Educator Meg Wilson, when she was a teacher at Avenues School, New York in 2013.

Reaching out to other teachers via Twitter, she made contact with classrooms across the globe and set up a project to learn from each other, compiling a multimedia ebook in Book Creator which could be published on the iBooks Store and shared with the the world.

To find out more about how this book was made, read Meg's case study on the Book Creator blog.

New York City

Our neighborhood in New York City

This is CHICAGO, IL USA!!! Where I live and go to school.

My mom drives me to school but some of my friends walk or take the El train.

My name is Johnnie and I'm in 6th grade.

There are lots of things to do in Chicago like eat at great restaurants, go to Navy Pier, go to the museums or swim in our Great Lake Michigan.

Chicago is home to one of the world's tallest buildings. It used to be called the Sears Tower but now it is called the Willis Tower. You can see it in the background. It's the tall black building on the left.
