The CD-ROM, Our Great Region, focuses on the theme of regions. The CD-ROM is designed to compliment the "Follow Your Path" VHS-broadcast program with a closer look at metropolitan regions around the Great Lakes.

Students will find out what makes these regions unique and how they are similar to their own. They are able to create and print their own "Our Great Region" book as they complete the activities
on the CD!
