U.S. Regions: Using the Internet as a Learning Tool

The internet can be a helpful tool in your learning. Below are some links that you may use to help further your U.S. Regions research. The first several sites begin with general state information (including our research guide) and then continue with information on specific states. Please feel free to email me other good sites that you find. I've already gotten a few good ones! Thanks, Ms. H.
