The Great Lakes

Mission: Great Lakes

The goal: a healthy Great Lakes ecosystem that provides a sustainable resource for the people of the world.

The strategy: learn about Great lakes ecology, the conflicting human pressures on the lake system, and the complex factors that must be considered when making choices about how to manage it. Then use that knowledge to make balanced decisions that will save the lakes.

The result: an increased awareness and knowledge of the Great Lakes ecosystem and an appreciation of the need for a balanced, long-term approach to solving the complex problems that this system faces today.

This program has been designed so that teachers can use it as a base point for lessons in a number of different subjects. A teacher resource guide is included. The individual nature of interactive, multimedia CD technology will allow students, from Grades 3 to Adult, to follow at their own pace as they explore the wonders of the Great Lakes ecosystem.

The Great Lakes CD-ROM is packaged in environmentally safe packaging!!
