Social Studies teachers are always looking for fun ways in which they can can engage their students. U.S. Westward Expansion is an app designed for the iPad and is a great way to aid students in the acquisition of content area knowledge about U.S. westward expansion. It challenges the students to apply the information they've learned about the content area. The app is designed as a game for the students. They can choose from focusing on the Louis and Clark Editions, geographic awareness (called Territories), or the Industrial Revolution (called Cause and Effects). Recently I shared this app with colleagues and even as educated adults, they found it entertaining.
